Elisabet Ney Museum - tucked-away sculptor's studio

The Elisabet Ney Museum preserves the studio and works of German-born sculptor Elisabet Ney, who established her studio in Austin in 1892; the small, neoclassical studio building is set in a neighborhood park and is less visible than larger city museums. The site houses original plaster casts and finished sculptures and is administered by the City of Austin; visits are often by appointment or during limited public hours, which contributes to its low public profile. The museum is recognized as a museum and historic site documenting Ney's role in Texas art history.
