Mexic-Arte Museum is a fine arts museum in Austin, Texas. The Mission of the organization is to enrich and educate the community through the presentation and promotion of traditional and contemporary Mexican, Latino, and Latino art and culture.
Founded in 1983 and incorporated in 1984, Mexic-Arte Museum is The Official Mexican American Fine Art Museum of Texas. In 1988, the museum relocated to a new location on Congress Avenue in Austin.
Good time for the whole family. My nephews liked looking at all the exhibits and they are in grade school. I liked the history, and information they provided.

Sunday’s the museum is free to all. Has great exhibits and the gift shop is a must. Great location with plenty of parking near by.

They were in between exhibits when I was in town, so there wasn't too much to look at. But I still give this place a 5-star review. The gift shop is super nice (I spent at least 20 minutes just looking at all the neat stuff and picking up some souvenirs) and the woman working the gift shop was very polite. My partner has a business trip to Austin in November and I hope I can catch an exhibit next time!

Would not call this a museum more like minor Mexican culture history exhibit w a cool little gift shop. They have a nice vibe going on with the murals on the side of the building. The customer service unfortunately ruins that.

Small museum but very interesting spot! It was a fun visit to visit the exhibits, especially the Frida Kahlo painting. Please visit the gift shop if you are a Frida fan!! 🤗

Great little art museum amongst the high rises of the Austin skyline. Amazing gift shop and exhibits that truly showcase Mexican and Texan art.

I was visiting from NY, so had no idea of what to expect. Mexic-Arte is a small pocket museum, where you can walk thru the gallery in a handful of minutes. But I took more time to read the placards and really look at the photos and artwork. I came away with more understanding and depth of culture. I think it was time well spent. If I lived nearby, I like to come by on a regular basis, as I am sure that the exhibits chnage from time to time.

Wonderful collection of Mexican art. Great little gift shop too. Feels good to be a tourist man.

Great gallery. Only wish they sold prints of some of their artwork.
