CULTURE & COMMUNITY

Treasures San Antonio Museum of Art

San Antonio is rich in tiles. The clay used by indigenous peoples for simple pottery is ideal material for skilled potters, and rich limestone deposits produced cement for decorative concrete tiles that add style and color to homes and other buildings. Today you will find beautiful tile installations and murals scattered all over the city, some large and striking, like Juan O’Gorman’s famous “Confluence of Civilizations” mural on the face of the Convention Center; others small and easy to miss.
