Really love the museum. Learned a lot of the holocaust history. It makes me think why it happened. Beside the evil force, sometimes we fail to stand up for others who can't stand up for themselves. Like what the Bible says the greatest condiments are to serve God and serve others.

The Holocaust Museum Houston is one of those destinations everyone should visit at least once. It’s a solemn place full of educational exhibits extolling the virtues of human rights. It’s not just about the WWII holocaust. It’s about human atrocities committed and fought against around the world. As a case in point about its broad spectrum of information, I was there for the Green Book exhibit. The Green Book was published in a time when motor travel by African Americans was difficult to find places to eat, sleep and have fun due to segregation and discrimination. The Green Book exhibit provided by the Smithsonian shows the people and places featured in the book. One should never look at another travel guide anywhere without appreciating the fact that this was not always the situation.

Very moving museum with lots of information about the Holocaust and Human Rights, a must see for anyone or families wanting to teach people about what happened in WW2. The first part is very hard to swallow to see the atrocities, but the second part is the heroic stories about individuals who stood against the oppression and helped saved lives. Learnt alot, and highly recommended

I went to this museum because I had a few hours to kill. The history of the Holocaust was given by past Houstonian survivers. This place is very impressive and they have some amazing artifacts on display. Certainly a very moving visit to say the least. It is well worth the visit.

This is a must see in Houston .after being closed for several months and undergoing a 34 million dollar renovation this museum is better than ever more interactive and engaging. The stories are soul wrenching the exhibits world class. The art gallery upstairs recommended after exhibits that will provide food for thought . This place gets better and better. I went for the Mandela exhibit. Visited permanent installations. Always a great experience.

It was an interesting experience to see the green book exhibit. All the places from Houston were on a back wall. It was just a little dark in some places inside. That made the lights reflected on the pictures.

Incredible. I visited the museum several years ago, but today was the first time since they did renovations. The exhibits are incredible. Be prepared emotionally as the Holocaust is a hard topic. The information is presented in a respectful manner and very educational.

Definitely a must for everyone. You’ll spend hours there so wear comfortable shoes.

I went to see the Kinsey African American Art & History Collection and learn lessons about the holocaust. This museum is for all people to learn and educate them selves on how the holocaust happened, watch survivors tell thier stories, and learn that we are not just to stay silent when atrocities toward different groups of people happen. I had such a nice time while educating myself. Thank you!

The employees and security people are by far the NICEST people I have ever met. Those people need raises. The museum itself was lacking for me. It is ALOT of reading. Several areas had a handrail separating you from the wall and it made things kind of far away to read. Multiple artifacts had numbers that had fallen off so you couldn't tell which description corresponded with which artifact. There was an area where it was not well lit and again it was hard to read the narrative on the wall. There was an overhead projector showing images of people on a section of the floor but it was so pale you couldn't really see them. Overall it was informative, however it needs some touch ups.

I want to thank everyone who made today's visit great. Especially thanks to the man showing us different stories from survivors and took the time to talk about different documentaries and people we'd seen in the past. I didn't get his name but really appreciated it. My daughter (5) learned a lot. Together we remember.

I do not know, how I describes so much fear when taking my mind to those moments that each person lived, thinking that we still live it but in different times and characters.

Thursdays are free in the afternoon, 2pm to closing. Its more of a chapter from your school history book. It's generally a ton of reading. Not many artifacts or much to see. Like I said it has quite a but if info and reading but you could check out a single book at the library and get more information. The digital map of the German occupation was pretty cool and the initial room you start in is the highlight. I do recommend getting the virtual guide because it does contain information not on the walls.

Sobering but great experience. Tour guides were very knowledgeable. Need at least 3 hours to read and process the exhibits. Highly recommend it.

I've wanted to go here for years, and today I finally went. It was so moving to see history up close. Although we were not part of a guided tour, there were 2 or 3 we passes by and the guides were doing a great job. I could have easily spent 3 hours in here reading everything, there were some audio spots with short film clips scattered around. Every museum employee was incredibly kind. Make sure you visit the second floor too. I liked that the cafe had a self playing piano, that was a nice touch. There were spots to take pictures, but a few places where pictures are not allowed (which is understandable). I would definitely recommend visiting this museum.

Worth the visit! We planned to be there for an hour, but ended up spending 4 hours. Lots of information to go through if you are willing to spare extra time.

Everyone should go here to learn more about the holocaust. It's very sad but lots of information I never learned about.

It was a sobering experience inside, but I highly recommend visiting the museum. Attendance was free for the military due to them being part of a program for the summer, so I was pleasantly surprised by that. The staff was really nice and helpful and I would love to go back next time I am in Houston.

Such a informative museum on the Holocaust and those that ended up living in Galveston area; which I didn't know about. Each Holocaust museum I go to I end up learning more and I have been to the one in Poland. They also have current events that America is dealing with right now, if you want to hear about more.

I came here to study the holocaust and the peak of human cruelty for both my History and Philosophy Class in San Jacinto college, and I've learned and felt so much during the dark and horrifying years of the Holocaust and I would love to thank Diane and the staff for the small Historical tour for the History and diaries of the Holocaust, I hope many people can visit this museum to understand and learn of the lessons we can take from those who suffer from the Holocaust Thank you - Osvaldo Lopez

Amazing exhibit. Thought provoking and well curated.

I thought it could be better. The museum layout isn’t that informative or enjoyable. and the props (artifacts) aren’t very impressive or gripping. I remember leaving other Holocaust museums feeling more shocked, sad, informed, and entertained than I did here (all emotions that are valuable for the education of this tragic and important event in history)

Incredible experience. The images and stories that I read here were so moving and eye opening. There is something to be said about reading or watching something about the holocaust vs. experiencing the events in a timeline way that is conveyed by a number of personal stories from survivors.

Very nice museum. Well laid out and well worth visiting.

Definitely a museum where you can learn plenty about the history of this period of time in humanity. All the exhibitions are well-detailed. Even though is a small museum you need to take your time to do the tour.

I went on a free day, so I can't speak to the price, but as an educator I was thrilled we have this museum in town. Everything (literally everything) in the main exhibit is in English and Spanish, and the exhibits on human rights and Jewish culture were fantastic complements to the main exhibit. I highly recommend coming here to anyone who wants to know anything about the Holocaust, or to anyone who, like me, just wants or needs to brush up their knowledge.

Free on Thursdays 2-8pm, otherwise ours $22, or $16 for seniors. Very informative, well put together. Teen appropriate,I don't know if younger they'd understand it. Lots of reading. I was there from 2-7. Inside pics not allowed except for the butterflies display. Large lot for parking or street parking for pay.

Great Reminder ! Everyone needs to experience this Museum. In times like today where our country feels divided. Its almost scary to imagine how ONE Man couldn't potentially cause a whole movement of hate! Genocide! We are all one Race! Human Race! This Museum also has Spanish captions throughout exhibitions and photos. This is one exhibit you will be sure glad you came to. May all come away with Love in our hearts. Sadness to what transpired...We should never forget!

We joined a group with a docent who gave us all a terrific tour through the museum. She not only informed us but dialogues with the group occasionally asking us questions or getting our feedback on something. The holocaust museum portion is well laid out chronologically with excellent variety of photographs, videos, well written signs to accompany these as well as the artifacts on display. We also stayed after the tour to look at some of the other exhibits and were pleased by all we saw. We highly recommend their docent lead tour!

You may think you know about Holocaust but there is so much interesting in this museum including about resistance fighters. Really well done and informative. MUST SEE. Also Green Book exhibit wonderful too.

So much to see and read and learn about concerning the Holocaust. I appreciated the people in the exhibits talking about information. Also, the guided tour was nice. Must be a whole day event.

It was a great view of tragic history. You get to hear personal experiences from survivors. There is also a Human Rights section, which is a great visit as well. A great way to learn from history so we won't repeat it.

Extremely well done and informative. Small cafe upstairs was very good. I felt all of the exhibits were very well done. Children under 18 are free.

Excellent experience. I recommend the tour with the docent it was meaningful and very moving.

Very well done, very informative the information provided filled in many gaps in my understanding of what really happened. The interviews with the servivers and their first hand recollection of the events is the heart of this experience. Make sure to watch the video in the black box you have to look down into, many people walked past without seeing the video that truly captures the sad truth of how these people were treated.

It's a great venue, with plenty of information. I wouldn't recommend for small children, especially if you want to have time to review the information that's available. They have a couple movies going, and an area where you can scroll through diaries various times and places. The notorious RBG exhibit was informative, and we learned some interesting things that aren't common knowledge.

It was interesting and we had a very informative tour but having been to many holocaust museums and concentration camps internationally, it wasn't the best museum. I think it's quite pricey for what it is but I enjoy how it focuses a lot on the now-local Houston survivors. It's worth a visit, especially the tour

I definitely recommend visiting the Holocaust museum if you are in Houston. It is very well organized and offers the visitor a lot of information to digest. The Green Book exhibit is also a must see!

I went particularly to see the Green Book exhibit, which was awesome, and the museum itself as a whole was very educational and insightful. The staff was pleasant and friendly. There is a little cafe on the 2nd floor with drinks and snacks. I paid $22, but I believe it is free on Thursdays during a certain time frame.

Beautifully done. The museum does a great job in educating about the horrors of the Holocaust from the beginning to the end. The personal accounts given from survivors in Houston were eye opening and raw.

We learned a lot there. I feel like it's important for every child who is learning about the Holocaust and adults to see it and hear the victims stories etc.

It was very interesting, and emotional. I recommend you visit the museum. There's so much hatred in this world the violence and no one cares about his neighbor the lawlessness its unreal. Those killing camps.. hitler was such a powerful evil person. All lives matter. As they say we can all start by showing love and respect and empathy for our brothers and sisters. 🙏🏿🙏 When will this madness end?? The rapture??

My heart ached for 2 hrs. I spent 2 hrs there and I could have easily spent more time there reading and reviewing the details and contemplating the history. Staff is very friendly, very clean museum and well put together layout ,stories and timelines of event. I really hope every person leaves with a changed heart and becomes conscious of how we can't be bystanders in injustice matters.

This museum is a must-see, the history behind the holocaust and how this museum interprets each development of the struggle makes you value your life and feel so much sympathy for those who suffered through this awful experience. Please be mindful and emotionally prepared when visiting this museum.

I learned a lot and really enjoyed the museum. The photos and videos were excellent. I recommend getting the self guided tour device so you get the most from your time there

It was a real learning experience The GrandBanchies and I Appreciated that the was a tour Guide the people who work there are helpful and I would definitely recommend visiting..

One of the saddest places in Houston. A combination of facing evil and gaining hope. We were lucky to join a tour by a second generation elderly guy (his parents were virtually kids before the war). An important reminder to keep doing what we can to prevent such a genocide from happening again.
