Overview
The San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA) sits in the beautifully repurposed former Lone Star Brewery on the north end of the River Walk, and it holds one of the most encyclopedic collections in the American Southwest. You'll find galleries spanning ancient Greek and Roman art, an acclaimed Latin American collection, Asian art, and Egyptian antiquities — a genuinely global tour under one roof. This ticket covers general admission, giving you self-paced access to the permanent collections and rotating special exhibitions. Plan on a couple of relaxed hours if you like to linger, or breeze through the highlights in less time if you're short on schedule. The museum's setting alone, with its brick towers and river views, makes it a worthwhile stop. Booking ahead through Get Your Guide lets you lock in your visit before you arrive, so you can spend your San Antonio time exploring rather than sorting logistics at the door. Check the confirmation details for current hours and any exhibition-specific notes when you book.
