Blanton Museum of Art, Austin

The first Friday of every other month the Blanton hosts an art party known as the "B Scene." Mingle with the hip, cool, artsy and beautiful while sipping Blantinis—and get the inside scoop on what to see on your tour of the museum the next day. The city’s cultural gem is home to more than 17,000 works of art, including the Mari and James A. Michener Collection of 20th-Century American Art, plus modern, Latin American, Renaissance and Baroque art, 15th-century prints and drawings, and rotating exhibitions. Skip the Renaissance unless you’re a diehard fan, and focus on the groovy 1960s exhibits.
