Third Thursday At The Blanton

There are so many free things in Austin that depend on the day and time of month, you need a dayplanner to keep up with the first this and third that and what's where and where's what. Lucky for us, we've kept it pretty straight thus far. So we chose this day, being the third thursday, to visit the Blanton Museum of Art. While the Blanton is free on EVERY Thursday, the THIRD Thursday they also stay open late. Got it?

According to my good friend Wikipedia (which is ALWAYS right cuz it's freakin' Wikipedia man), the Blanton Museum is the largest university museum in these United States. The 155,000 square foot facility houses over 17,000 works from Europe, Latin America and the U.S..

In layman's terms, they feature a whole lotta art from a whole lotta periods in a whole lotta space. It is quite an impressive spread and worth a look to broaden one's horizons.
