McNutt Sculpture Garden, located on the grounds of the Briscoe Museum, comprises a collection of bronze sculptures that depict icons of the American West, all surrounding a lush courtyard.
Nestled not far off the San Antonio River Walk, the garden is very secluded and easy to miss, so you'll have to look for it. Once you find it, you'll be met with an impressive collection of statues created by some of the country's best-known Western artists. Seeing the sculptures won't take very much time, but visitors often enjoy a relaxing stroll or some time spent basking in the sun or shade along the pathway.
