Known forLatino cultureaffordabledowntowncommunity institution
Austin's official Mexican and Mexican-American fine art museum, showcasing contemporary and traditional works from Mexico and the US Latino diaspora in a compact but punchy space on Congress Avenue. The rotating exhibitions are consistently thoughtful and the permanent collection of pre-Columbian artifacts is a genuine treasure. It's small enough to do in an hour and the admission is very affordable — a beloved cultural anchor of Austin's Latino community.
