I've been to this museum several times over the years. My last visit was sometime back. The museum is very nice and the art exhibits are always interesting to look at. If you're in the area, take a break from the beach one day and check this museum out. You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful place, a bit small when compared to other cities art museums. But definitely a plus when you have other museums within walking distance.

Small but beautifully curated museum – great lighting, thoughtful layout, and stunning ocean Definitely worth spending 1–2 hours to enjoy the art and the vibe.

The Art Museum of South Texas, in Corpus Christi had their Third Thursday event and we decided to go. A smallish museum it is full of beautiful works of art. Was an enjoyable event.

This gorgeous space was designed by architect Philip Johnson and is a lovely environment to experience art. The building really harmonizes with its location on the waters edge of Corpus Christi Bay. Although the museum seems to be dedicated primarily to contemporary art, there is a small but very high quality permanent collection of Spanish Colonial art.
