Editorial Review for The Blanton Museum of Art – by Tara Hall
In Short
On the south end of the University of Texas campus sits this stately 124,000-square-foot art gallery. Calming neutral walls and an organized layout keep visitors' attention focused on the expansive collections of classic and contemporary European, Latin American and American pieces, which include 13,000 prints from masters like Picasso and Rembrandt. An interactive eLounge and library, coupled with a bookstore and cafe in the neighboring Smith building, further highlight this attraction.
