McNay Art Museum terraces

The McNay Art Museum sits on a 23-acre estate on a limestone ridge and its house and gardens include terraces and pathways that provide elevated views across portions of north-central San Antonio. The museum grounds combine formal gardens, oak-shaded paths, and stone terraces that create multiple small, semi-hidden viewpoints away from the main entrance. The site’s topography makes these garden terraces a less-obvious spot to see the city framed by the museum’s historic architecture.
