Didn’t get to enjoy the collection because they were setting up for the Día de Los Muertos parade. But we saw them setting up the floats, checked out the shop, and talked to some friendly folks. Super cool. And the piña colada paleta was delish.

Beautiful museum. A great place showcasing Mexican-American artists within a respectful space. It's very welcoming, and I love the natural feel of the place. They do different exhibits often, so there's always something new to see. The shop is fun at the end of your visit (the stickers are my favorite). Great displays and information cards. You can often buy the art, so it's wonderful to have the opportunity to obtain some of the artists' works! Highly recommend for any guests or locals who haven't visited!

Small but very nice art museum. I love the stories behind each piece and enjoyed hearing of the traditions. Would definitely recommend this as place to visit. Is at the corner of Congress and 5th. There are lockers to place your items in and safeguard personal items.

Loved this little museum in the middle of downtown, well worth the time to see every exhibit, and the gift shop is nice as well!

This exhibit is amazing. I was exposed to so many artists and there are some treasured originals. Their gift shop is loaded with books, stickers, and other really great finds. If you're in Austin and looking for some authentic Mexican art, this museum should be on your list.
