Blanton Café - Menu

The restaurant showcased fascinating artwork throughout, featuring a mix of modern pieces alongside European art from the 15th to 17th century. There was also a touch of Ancient Greek art! It truly offers something for everyone, and you don’t need to be an art enthusiast to appreciate it.

I had an absolutely enchanting experience at The Blanton. My best friend and I took in the Warhol exhibit recently and I was impressed with the exhibit and the staff's knowledge about each work of art. I hope to frequent the museum much more often in the future. It's a beautiful and enlightening refuge from the ordinary.

There is a diverse range of exhibits that cater to everyone's interests. The entry fee is quite affordable, and it's free for UT students and staff. Additionally, they offer a discounted rate for the Brazos parking garage if you plan to stay for over an hour. It's a fantastic way to spend an afternoon while exploring the UT campus or enjoying a day in Austin. View menu

Upon entering the atrium, you’re greeted by Teresita Fernandez’s Stacked Waters installation. Surrounded by the stunning, swirling blue tiles, it feels as though you’re at the bottom of a swimming pool. The Blanton Museum offers a diverse range of art, from European to contemporary, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, students and teachers can enter for free!

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the Blanton! Student pricing was great and if you park in the Brazos parking garage (right next to it) and bring your printed parking ticket, it is $4 flat-rate parking for the rest of the day and you can pay for it when you pay for the museum ticket. There is an excellent range of art from Latin American art to contemporary to Greek. I really enjoyed my visit!

My husband and I went to the Blanton Museum on November 16 the third Thursday of the month. We really enjoyed ourselves. We parked in the Brazos Garage with no problem . We like to go when there is a band playing and this was a special night because the band was exceptional and also the choir that sang while the band played. The museum is very informative and educational for students and visitors. I highly recommend you go and get benefits of hearing the band play and get there early enough to do a little sight seeing.

I joined a guided tour and it shocked me how little the tour guide and the people (young and old) in the group, knew about Andy Warhol? He wasn't that great of an artist and he was a plain man; but that's the point how the heck did he get so famous? Because you can't deny he was a genius at marketing himself as a brand. He also tried some very radically different forms of art, and whether he succeeded at least he tried! He dared to be different indeed he was. He loved the undeniable commonality that all humans share and he found that expressed in such things as a soup can because the most common man in a factory Michigan eats soup and so does Elizabeth Taylor living in Beverly Hills. No deny...

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Blanton Museum of Art. We went to view Nina Katchadourian 's 'Curiouser ' exhibit. We found it to be brilliant, highlighting a creative spirit that is unsurpassed. I 'm so glad we allowed ample time to explore her works and view other artists as well. It was a day well spent! What I like about the Blanton is each gallery section has, at the displayed work, a well written text board that explains why the works in that room were brought together. Individual works of art have labels that tell about their art historical/social context. I learned about each artist, their methods and materials. I found the day went by so fast! It was a truly e...

I think the Blanton is a fine resource that more students at UT should take advantage of for an interdisciplinary experience of art, architecture, music, and more on cultures. I especially enjoyed Aruna Kharod's performances in the Epic Tales from India exhibit, an example of one of the live pieces of art the museum has to offer. A lovely volunteer tour guide one Friday explained to us the fine details and history of the paintings and sculptures that often overlooked, one of my favorite experiences here. I still have to explore more, but I do appreciate the broadening experience that Blanton brings to our minds. I do wish there were more outreach programs to show how non-art/ humanities UT s...
