El Paso Museum of Art
Downtown El Paso · El Paso, Texas
The El Paso Museum of Art is the primary fine arts museum of the Paso del Norte region, with collections spanning European Old Masters, pre-Columbian art, Mexican Colonial paintings, and twentieth-century American art — a program that reflects El Paso's extraordinary position at the crossroads of the cultural traditions of the United States and Mexico. The museum's Mexican Colonial collection is particularly distinguished, encompassing religious paintings, furniture, and decorative arts that document three centuries of artistic achievement in New Spain. Located in the heart of downtown El Paso, adjacent to the international border, the museum embodies the bicultural identity that makes El Paso one of the most culturally distinctive cities in the American Southwest.
