Set in an exquisite Spanish Colonial Revival-style home on twenty-three acres of beautifully landscapes gardens, the McNay Art Museum is an oasis in the heart of San Antonio.
As the first museum of modern art in Texas, the McNay offers a unique opportunity to entertain in style as well as view an internationally renowned art collection. The intimate Octagon room, the breath-taking Courtyard, and elegant Leeper Auditorium together make a wedding unforgettable. For those interested in modern architecture, the Stieren Center for Exhibitions is sure to please. We invite you to experience some of the most magnificent works of the 20th Century, in one of the most spectacular creations of the 21st.
Think outside the box when planning your next conference and join us at the McNay for a setting that is a nice change of scenery from the typical boardroom or hotel conference center. The McNay has the ideal space for business luncheons, out-of-office retreats, and evening dinners and receptions.
