Museo Benini is a single artist museum dedicated to the work of Italian artist Benini who was born in Imola in the Emilia Romagna region in 1941[1]. The museum is located in the Texas Hill Country, 47 miles northwest of Austin, Texas. The museum, as well as a compound of other buildings sits on 35 acres in a rural setting just south of the city of Marble Falls[2]. Prior to his move to Marble Falls, Benini and his wife Lorraine established the Benini Galleries and Sculpture Ranch in Johnson City, Texas, on a ranch once owned by President Lyndon B. Johnson[3][4][5][6].
Through the last 50 years, Benini's artwork has been featured in 162 solo exhibitions, primarily in universities, museums and public institutions, including Duke University[7], The Museum of Geometric and MADI Art in Texas[8][9], The Brevard Art Center Museum in Florida[10], Georgetown Art Center[11] and Portland State University[12].
The 6500 square foot museum, the newest single artist museum in Texas, was built in 2015 to showcase Benini's work in a chronological display. In her April 2020 article for Sightlines magazine, Austin arts writer Barbara Purcell noted, "Museo Benini is the rare single artist museum where the artist is still alive and working."[13] In her subsequent article for Glasstire magazine in August 2020, A Visit to Museo Benini in Marble Falls, Purcell states, "Entering the museum is like entering a church..." [14]
Museo Benini is open to the public by appointment.
