"Austin is known as a music, outdoors, and food town,so the visual arts can sometimes get short shrift, especially when compared to Texas towns like Fort Worth and Houston. Located on the University of Texas campus, the Blanton makes the case that more people should be paying attention to what the state’s capital city has to offer. With 18,000 works in its collection, the Blanton is the centerpiece of the art world in Austin . Regular and rotating exhibits feature works that span from ancient India to modern North American art. Admission is free on the third Thursday of each month."
