Elisabet Ney Museum, Austin

Kinda small, but really cool little castle type building. Lots of info about an influential Texan that not everyone had heard of.

Great historic site. Wish I had known about her when I was taking art courses in college. She may have been mentioned in the art history books, but barely. Beautiful studio! Helpful attendants.

This is my personal favorite museum & piece of Austin history nestled in Hype Park. Elisabet Ney's work is well lit & beautifully arranged within her historic home which was also her studio. It also has piece's associated with her life. I enjoy bringing visiting friends & family here. Open Wed-Sun 12noon-5pm. (It is near Shipe Park.)

An artistically independent woman before societies accepted such characteristics in a female. Abundantly talented and charismatic personality with a determined character...as she swayed many kings and dignitaries to sit long and numerous sittings for her to sculpt them. The castle is a treasure filled with her sculptures she created when she and her husband resided there beginning at the turn of the century.

Elizabet Ney's historic Texas home is a beautiful art museum of classic treasures, beautiful grounds, and a rich history.
