Created in 1925 as the San Antonio Museum Association, the organization later became the San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA) and also operated the Witte Museum of Science and History. Over its long history, the SAMA has become well-known for its collection of pre-Columbian art, along with its holdings in 18th through 20th century American and European paintings and sculpture. On their website, visitors can peruse their upcoming events, view highlights from their collection, and look over interactive features about their new and previous shows. Two of the archived highlights here include an exhibit on photography from the Mexican Revolution and their collection of Asian art. Teachers should make sure and look over their "Education" area, as it contains materials to use in the classroom, as well as information about special programs at SAMA.
