Blanton Museum of Art
In a town bursting with arts and culture, the Blanton Museum of Art brings together centuries-old European paintings and intellectually challenging modern works from across the Americas. During the day, moms with toddlers in strollers mill around the brightly lit rooms and share the space with gaggles of UT students following their profs around like so many water buffalo thirsty for sweet art knowledge. The entryway itself is a work of art, as it plays host to Teresita Fernández's site-specific installation, Stacked Waters. This architectural embellishment rendered in different tones of blue and white cast acrylic creates the impression of wading under a blue surf: a lovely way to enter into the depths of art.
