[3] As of 2025, its collection comprises about 10,000 works, a selection of which is on view on two levels of exhibition spaces totaling 5,246 sq. ft. (487 m2).[1]

Construction was made possible by a donation from alumnus and co-founder of Texas Instruments, Inc. Patrick E. Haggerty (1914–1980) and his wife Beatrice (1913–2003), for whom the museum is named. The building was originally designed by San Antonio architect O’Neil Ford. After Ford’s death, the project was taken over by Milwaukee architect David Kahler.[4]

American artist and social activist Keith Haring created a mural called Construction Fence, inspired by breakdancing, for the fence surrounding the building’s construction site.[5] The work was later relocated inside the galleries.

Permanent collection

The Haggerty’s permanent collection includes approximately 10,000 works of art, with strength in European paintings of the late Renaissance and early modern eras, 20th-century German art, modern and contemporary photographs, and fine art prints by post-war and contemporary artists. Most of these objects can be viewed through the museum’s online collection search.

Highlights include paintings by Pieter Claeissens, Charles-André van Loo, Gustave Caillebotte, Lovis Corinth, Diego Rivera, Salvador Dalí (The Madonna of Port Lligat), Jacob Lawrence, Jacques Villon, Andy Warhol; sculpture by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux and Louise Nevelson; and works on paper by Otto Dix, Weegee, Robert Rauschenberg, and Marc Chagall (a set of 105 colored etchings known as The Bible Series donated by Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty[6]).
