An exhibit at the San Antonio Museum of Art is combining art, history and beer.
“We are housed in the original Lone Star Brewery. It’s a celebration of those origins. The building’s history and our neighborhood,” said Tatiana Herrera Schneider, the chief engagement officer at the San Antonio Museum of Art.
The new exhibition at the museum explores the evolution of the building’s history from a brewery to an art institution. “We were built in the late 1880s by Adolphus Busch and really runs the gamut all the way to current today. It was this dilapidated building. It’s lived many lives and then in the 1970s, visionaries came through. This is where we need to build a museum and put in a lot of resources to build the building as it is today,” Herrera Schneider said.
