This art museum is full of interesting and beautiful Mexican art from all time periods. For only $7, I highly recommend checking them out.

This was my favorite museum on our recent trip to Austin. I loved the friendliness of the staff, the option to wear a face mask if you wanted to, the creative art and all of the displays. Be sure to check out the gift shop on your visit. Won't regret it one bit!

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.

Walking down Congress and stumbled across this gem! Great exhibit around this time of year highlighting the Dia le los Muertos traditions. Cute gift shop. Prices a little high for things like a reusable bag so chose smaller sticker items to still show support.

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!

Great museum, follow their social media pages to checkout special events, which are more intimate and allow you to meet the staff, artists, and network. The annual Dia de los Muertos parade they host Downtown is amazing!

This was a great find off 5th Street in Austin, TX. The museum is free on Sundays. The gift shop was a bit pricey but had a ton of cute merchandise. I did purchase a t-shirt and stickers.

Keep in mind this is a pretty small museum. The exhibitions are very colorful, vibrant and diverse. the reduced star is not because of its size (sometimes it's the smaller special museums that are the best!), but rather - something there I feel wasn't done right in the side of the explanation. Artistic objects there have some sort of a plain paper glued on the wall with just tons of text in small font that fails to convey the idea behind the art installation, or too tedious to read or understand. The explanations in my opinions have to be more friendly, more interactive, and perhaps to make some logical order that makes more sense in the sequence of visiting the museum. Currently it looks like a collection of items (very amazing items though!) but with non-coherent relation or explanation as to what one sees. Some shorter but better info would help appreciate the items and the museum as a whole even more.

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.

Its a nice place but we expected to see more honestly. 2 years ago we went to viva la vida and was very nice. Price is fair $7 per person and $1 for little ones. Good paintings and colorful walls!

The art was wonderful here! We went as part of our day trip and really enjoyed it

Beautiful artwork! Very quant loved the variety of merchandise! It’s free on Sundays that’s a plus! Staff was pleasant!

Excellent small museum with a nice collection. Loved the Posada prints and altars. Nice gift shop, too.

Always wanted to go to the Dia de los Muertos display and it did not disappoint. The museum is much larger than expected too.

Cute place but very small. It’s a self guided tour which was hard since I have small kids. Lots to look at but hard with kids as they didn’t enjoy it as much. Wish there was some kind of audio to help us know more than the written material so the kids could enjoy too. It was reasonable in pricing and there’s a small gift shop as well.

One of Austin's best art museums. They do a great job of involving local artists, especially in their murals and Dia De Los Muertos altars. They also have a great gift shop and are open free on Sundays. It's worth visiting this place regularly as their exhibits turn over.

Small place but overall nice. Has a cover for most days but it's cheap. Sundays are free. It's nice how it covers the local anti-klan movement and the resistance to government.

It was a beautiful experience. The art and stories touched my heart, and taught me so many things. I encourage anyone in Austin to take a look around Mexic-Arte Museum.

Worth a stop. Very impressive. Tons of artist displays and genres.

This is relatively small space which struck me as more of a gallery, than a museum, but their website incidates that they have an extensive collection, presumably just not the space or ability to keep more on view. Currently there is a photo exhibit documenting the late 70s Chicano movement. This includes a great photo of a young Amado Pena standing next to Cesar Chavez. Several of Pena's pieces and some movement posters he designed are included as well. There is also fabulous series of paintings by Carolina Flores. These are large and somewhat abstracted canvasses. Her work captures the dignity and nostalgia of Chicano family portraits from what appears to be early 20th century. Free on Sundays and pretty good gift store.

beautiful exhibits, wonderful artisan work from all over mexico! lovely gift shop where you can buy artisan pieces! wonderful showing of mexican art and culture

Lovely museum with cute gift shop. Host at the front was friendly, and the exhibits themselves are great. Only one floor of content, but I spent about an hour and a half just absorbing everything.

There is normally an admission fee, but we were able to get in free admission because of a concert they had. I would recommend signing up for their email newsletters to keep you in the loop about events there. The people upfront were super helpful and friendly. The space is filled with art from all over artisans in Mexico. Everything is on display and I would definitely recommend this for all tourist and locals to check out. The gift shop is a great place to go and grab a birthday card or a birthday gift, if you are a part of the Mexican culture, you will love this place. They had a Huapango concert, I mean, that is very unique!

Great museum that showcases Mexican and latinx artwork. Admission is free on Sundays! The museum is wheelchair accessible. It’s nice and cool inside which is great for a hot summer day. There isn’t a restroom available for patrons, so we had to use the CVS across the street. There is a fun little gift shop in the front which you can visit without paying admission to the museum. My only suggestion would be for the museum to offer captions on the television. There was a short interview shown on the television and it was hard to hear. I hope they will add this soon so the movie will be accessible to all patrons.

A great museum in downtown Austin with a rotating exhibit of works from Mexican artists. It's approachable in size, and can be explored in about an hour - and admission is free on Sundays (and really, it's a pretty reasonable price on other days).

Amazing art from local artists and those from around the world. A true Austin institution. Plus... hello? Gift shop! 😃 an affordable and enlightening outing for the whole family. Get yo culture on!

Excellently curated museum. Great gift shop. Small museum but quality of art is high.

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!
