Institutions of higher education in San Antonio include a campus (founded in 1969) of the University of Texas, the University of Texas Health Service Center at San Antonio (1959), St. Mary's University of San Antonio (1852), Our Lady of the Lake University of San Antonio (1895), University of the Incarnate Word (1881), and Trinity University (1869).
A leading cultural attraction is the San Antonio Museum of Art. Housed in a renovated historic brewery from the late 19th century, the museum focuses particular attention on art of the Americas, from pre-Columbian to contemporary works. The Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum displays works by some of the finest painters of the postimpressionism style, while the Witte Museum features hands-on exhibits of Texas history, natural science, and anthropology. The Institute of Texan Cultures, part of the University of Texas at San Antonio, explores the contributions of 28 different ethnic groups toward the settlement of the state. The San Antonio Symphony plays in the restored Majestic Theater.
