– Start your day by the river front for a trip around the world at the San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA), where regular and rotating exhibits feature a comprehensive collection of ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Latin American and Contemporary Art.
– Near the San Antonio Museum of Art, don’t forget to look up under the overpass to admire the “glowing” work of Philadelphia artist Donald Lipski’s “F.I.S.H.” The exhibit features a cluster of 25 seven-foot-long creatures of hand-painted fiberglass resin that are anatomically correct figures of long-eared sunfish, which are native to the river.
– Take a shopping break nearby and browse all things ¡Viva! at the Fiesta Store on Main for colorful, handwoven Mexican dresses and blouses, and festive home décor.
– When hunger strikes, head towards trendy Southtown to grab dinner and drinks at Maverick, a Texas Brasserie – a neighborhood hangout and food lover’s destination.
– Then, linger back downtown and explore the sights, sounds, local shops and pop-up boutiques along the banks of the famous River Walk.
