We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go,
we take a little of each other everywhere. – Tim McGraw

In 1892 celebrated European sculptress, Elisabet Ney, built a small neoclassical studio in the remote natural setting of Hyde Park, Austin, TX. In this studio she sculpted the "great men" of frontier Texas, among them life-size figures of Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston that stand today in the national and state capitols. Ney also assembled in this studio her earlier sculptures of European notables.
Venerated as one of the oldest museums in Texas, it offers a preserved glimpse into early Texas history and the life of a creative and spirited woman who lived life passionately in her own inimitable way.
