The Spanish Governor's Palace on Military Plaza is a one-storey adobe residence completed in 1749 for the captain of the Presidio San Antonio de Béxar; the keystone over the door bears the arms of King Ferdinand VI. The last visible part of the presidio and a National Historic Landmark since 1970, it is a city museum with furnished rooms and a courtyard garden.
The Buckhorn Saloon & Museum on East Houston Street grew from the horn collection Albert Friedrich began showing in his saloon in the 1880s, where hunters could trade a set of horns for a drink. Its halls show mounted animals of more than 500 species beside a working saloon and the Texas Ranger Museum, with badges, firearms and a re-created frontier street.
The San Antonio Museum of Art occupies the former Lone Star Brewery, a castle-like brick complex from the 1880s on the Museum Reach of the River Walk, and opened in 1981. Its collection of about 30,000 objects covers antiquities from Egypt, Greece and Rome, Asian art, Latin American art including folk art, and modern and contemporary works.
The McNay Art Museum opened in 1954 in the Spanish Colonial Revival house that painter Marion Koogler McNay built in 1927 to designs by Atlee and Robert Ayres. Its collection covers 19th- and 20th-century European and American art, and the Jane and Arthur Stieren Center by Jean-Paul Viguier (2008) holds exhibitions.
