Things to Do in Austin: Museums that Spark Inspiration

Blanton Museum of Art — Located on the University of Texas campus, the Blanton boasts one of the largest university art collections in the country. Don’t miss the iconic Ellsworth Kelly chapel and immersive installations.

The Contemporary Austin — Two locations (the downtown Jones Center and Laguna Gloria) offer an inspiring mix of rotating exhibits and permanent collections. Book both in one day for a full-spectrum art experience.

Mexic-Arte Museum — A vibrant tribute to Mexican, Latinx, and Latin American art and culture. Located right downtown, it’s a can’t-miss stop for bold visuals and important cultural context.

Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum — This outdoor space offers a peaceful blend of nature and creativity. It’s ideal for winding down in between more active stops.

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center — Technically a botanical garden, but rich in artistic landscaping and educational design. Wildflowers, native plants, and seasonal exhibitions make it a tranquil yet thought-provoking destination.

Trinity Tip: Don’t try to cram them all in on your own. Let Trinity Concierge create a guided museum-hopping tour so you can relax, learn, and enjoy.

Rowing on Lady Bird Lake — Glide across the water and take in the Austin skyline from a whole new angle. You can kayak, paddleboard, or take a guided rowing experience.
