Editorial Review for Austin Museum of Art – by Lois M. Rodriguez

In Short
The downtown AMOA is on the bottom floor of a large office building. Still, the museum has offered a steady flow of quality modern art and has been a continuing force in the community through various programs of art education and appreciation. These walls boast a collection of 20th century paintings, sculptures, photographs, prints and drawings. Each year, the museum includes a show of new Texas artists, a children's exhibit, multicultural exhibits and an array of contemporary works.

first of all, reviewers should not rate the museum itself based on their website. obviously, people get angry over anything these days. this museum has a very interesting collection representing many north american and latin american artists. their traveling exhibits are also very interesting. some in the past have included exhibits of circus art, and different artists.

Pros: cheap admission, not crowded, interesting artwork

Cons: small
