Art Museum of South Texas

The Art Museum of South Texas has a long, long history, going back to the 1930s. Originally, its home was merely within the relatively small Centennial Museum, but in 1944, it gained its own property. Originally, the museum’s humble collection was intended to foster awareness of the importance of art in society while inspiring others to enjoy and participate in the creation of art. Today, the Art Museum of South Texas has grown significantly, having two different buildings packed with a mix of permanent and rotating exhibits. The permanent collection contains over 1,850 works of art, primarily focusing on art from Corpus Christi and its regional surrounding area. You’ll find works from North, Central, and South America, presented in a sophisticated and engaging style. There’s no end to the kinds of works you’ll be able to see at this art museum. From full-scale installations to paintings, from ceramics to textiles, and from sculptures to watercolors, it’s easy to see why this is one of the city’s top 10 hotspots for tourists. If you have kids, you can bring them to ArtCade, a fun experience that will give them the chance to make their own art. Address: 1902 N Shoreline Blvd, Corpus Christi, TX 78401, United States
