Let’s start with the coolest art gallery to hit the scene in recent years: Hopscotch. The 20,000 sq ft space hosts a variety of immersive and interactive installations by the hippest local, national and international artists around. These exhibits rotate, so you could be in for a surprise - and no matter what selection you stumble upon, be sure to have that phone on full charge. It’s all IG gold. There’s also a bar on-site, and drinks are permitted in the gallery - meaning that those who aren’t big on the camera roll, can let the fun times roll, instead.
When you think about San Antonio, museums probably aren’t the first thing on your mind. You’re probably thinking of the River Walk or the Alamo. But San Antonio is actually full to the brim with brilliant museums, and they’re surprisingly good for an under-the-radar city.
Here you’ll find funky, immersive exhibitions with a fresh take, classic art museums for history and architecture, and – oh yes – the ever-strange displays of Texan trophies (you’ll see, I guess). For a day out that will surprise and inspire you all at once, here is our list of the best museums in San Antonio right now.
