Besides a margarita, the best way to cool off in this Texas heat is to head to the air-conditioned environment of a local museum. San Antonio’s Briscoe Western Art Museum maximizes on this wisdom, knowing the transporting power that a change of scenery can hold — even if just on canvas. The museum’s ever robust programming continues this June with an invitation to roam the West without ever leaving San Antonio.
Of course, the primary means of escape is the ongoing summer exhibition “The Sons of Charlie Russell: Cowboy Artists of America,” which features 70 works of art showcasing the forefathers of Western art.
