Elisabet Ney Museum

Tour Headquarters / Ticket Sales / Check In

The Elisabet Ney Museum is as unique as the woman it memorializes: an artist who, after sculpting the significant figures of mid-19th Century Europe, went on to sculpt the significant figures of early Texas. Enter this castle-like structure to examine her work, explore her home and studio, and comprehend her vision of the world. 

Dykes-Bertrand House

The formality of the Tudor Revival exterior of this house is balanced by the whimsy of some of the New Orleans-inspired art in its interior. Inside the house, see the rooms that define its past and present owners: the former hair salon of its previous owner, hairdresser to Lady Bird Johnson, and the art studio of its current owner.

Herzele House

This spacious house was remodeled by a hand both expert and familial: the owner’s daughter, a noted interior designer. With a restructured roofline, a formerly open staircase now enclosed, a more spacious porch, and a reconfigured interior, the house was reimagined to blend into the neighborhood and provide a perfect home.

Curl-Crockett House

This house epitomizes the rise, fall, and resurrection of the Hyde Park neighborhood. After ownership by a series of prominent figures, it fell into decline, was divided into apartments, and later occupied by a fraternity. After the turn of the millennium, it was lovingly restored by new owners and became a neighborhood showpiece.

Schenken-Oatman House

This house went from potential demolition to historic landmark status, thanks to the efforts of ten Hyde Park residents who united to save and restore it. The original siding, windows, and metal shingle roof of its exterior are matched by the original bead board ceiling, wainscoting, and door and window trim of its interior.

Welsh-Rice House

This house has always been at the heart of the Hyde Park community: on the trolley line, just south of Avenue B Grocery, home to Hyde Park religious leaders and employees of the Austin State Hospital. Today its interior houses an extensive art collection and its back deck showcases a 200-year-old tree.

Cooke House

Built by a successful businessman, occupied by one of the first female faculty of the University of Texas, and later the home of one of the rare female doctors of her time, this Craftsman house has been through a comprehensive renovation. Its relocated staircase, converted attic, and salvaged flooring are some of the features that bring this house into 21st Century Hyde Park.
