Wonderful museum with excellent exhibits. Especially liked the Georgia O’Keeffe, Photographer exhibition devoted to O’Keeffe’s work as a photographer. I am a big fan of her work and also visited the museum in Santa Fe. Nearly 100 photographs from a newly examined archive were on display during this exhibit.Complementing the photographs were paintings and drawings also exhibited.

Twas a beautiful museum! Many cultural arts were exhibited from all over the world! Definitely a great experience to see what cultures each country shared. I got to go there on Thursday night so I got a free entrance! I love that they do those give back to the community! A must go there especially if you like arts! Cheers 🥂

We took advantage of going to the museum on Thursday and I realized that every Thursday is totally free, something very good for the family and large groups of friends. We park the parking lot of the museum itself but you also have the opportunity to park on the street (if you are lucky) The entrance was quite fast, no queues or waiting. I think that having the tickets already purchased makes access much easier. The place is incredible, everything is organized, clean and quite easy to follow the route. It is an excellent place to meet and enter the world of art and a Excellent idea for a date too.

This place is absolutely massive. Three buildings are connected by tunnels for 11 floors of amazing art, sculptures, photography, and installations. Definitely plan for an entire day. We wondered all over the place and I know we still missed some things. Free to active military.

A great way to spend the day. Several multilevel museums connected by a tunnel. Great works from a wide array of times place and people going back to ancient Greek and Egyptian works, the master of the Renaissance and modern late period. It's a great place to spend an afternoon.

MC Escher exhibit is great! They have the prints but also many of the wood cuts and blocks on display.right next to them. Very interesting, I've never seen an exhibit like that. This was also my first time in the Kinder building, very impressive and fun space. More contemporary works, great flow to the museum. Fun tunnel back to the Beck building.

Coming from LA, I have high expectations for museums. This has to be one of my favorites. There were several diff rooms and floors from different eras and covered a wide variety of different types of art. We spent a couple hours here and really enjoyed it. Very clean and quiet. Would def recommend if visiting the area!

A nice museum with three buildings connected by the underground passages. My favorite is the modern art building. You can easily spend a whole day here. Some staff near popular light fixtures seem less chill, but overall great experience here. They also have a cute cafe.

A great huge collection of art work from all different eras and places. This museum consists of three buildings. One for classic European art, one for art from other cultures, and one for contemporary. Each of the buildings is connected through tunnels that are themselves art installation. Very spacious venue and generous use of architectural space. Their special exhibitions are also very cool. I went to the MC Escher one and I would rate that show a 5 out of five as well.

Awesome experience! Amazing arts in there love how they have a little summary beside the paintings explaining into detail. I loved it definitely some interesting stuff. It is a lot of walking tho!! Be prepared. If you’re going to go with your kids be aware that they don’t touch anything because you cannot touch any of the art plus there’s always people watching. Be respectful. I do recommend! I believe it’s free on Thursdays if you don’t want to spend $ it’s perfect!

One of my favorite museums. There’s usually tours going on that you can join to learn more about the different paintings & sculptures. Thursdays they offer free GA which is nice and it’s normally not too crowded.

Honestly loved it. It's about 3-5 floors. Thursdays are free. Very peaceful and they follow covid procedures very well. Parking is free the first 30 min. Afterwards is $10. You get your temperature taken when you enter. They give you a map. Worth the visit :)

I went here on Saturning afternoon right after lunch time. It was empty during that time, but eventually started getting crowded. (Not too crowded though, which was good.) I completely underestimated the colossal and immense scale of this museum. There are like two buildings that are connected with a tunnel with colorful lightning and each structure is three levels. Dozens of exhibit rooms and I almost got lost few times. I think I spent several hours, at least 3~4hours to see the basic fundamental art, sculptures, and creations that I wanted to see, but this is going to take multiple visits if you really want to see everything. I really enjoyed the several “gold galleries” or “gold collections” and I was always interested in bitcoin, the currency and gold. It helped me understand how gold was a global status symbol for multiple cultures throughout the world and how it was associated with wealth, youth (immortality), Gods, etc. I also enjoyed the “Treasuries of Spain” section where I had to pay $4 more, but enjoyed it and picked up myself few gift items at the shop..

My hubby took me here for date night and I'm glad he did. The museum has new exhibits to check out.

Great experience, I will be back next time I visit Houston! Could have spend all day here. You can get through the museum in about 3 hours but I recommend longer. Parking is a issue so we took a uber, otherwise a perfect place to bring your older kids!

fantastic! i love every visit here. we have been coming here for what feels like forever. the art exhibits are always so eye grabbing and fun. there’s so much learned in every visit. one of my favorite things is the tunnels from building to building. the lights make you feel like you’re escaping reality. beautiful.

I went on a Thursday when general admission was free. This place was amazing. I did not realize they have so much good stuff. Even if you live in Houston, it is fun to be a tourist in your own town. Go check it out!

This place is all things fine. But they are strict with trying use any type of tripod or selfie stick. The tickets were free and the time was not limited. Parking was only 10 dollars and if it wasn’t raining I would just walked to the other museums everything is close together. So this place is so big and is connected by tunnels. They have staff all over to help and direct you. A lot of sitting places. The food at the cafe is standard little high but not bad. All of the exhibits were so nice.

I've been in this museum several times, visiting non permanent expositions, and always is a treat. Always when I am done with the non permanent exposition, I reserved some time to wander around all the different permanent expositions and every single time I really enjoy it. If you are an art lover, you must visit this museum.

Unfortunately I was able to spend only four hours in there. So I could visit their main campus only. It has great collection of ancient art. I liked very much their impressionism and postimpressionism collection. The only one disturbing thing there was the light. I had a strong feeling it was set up wrong way. It could be subjective though. The exhibitions of Indian, Indonesian, Mexican and South American ancient masterpieces were incredible. Great exhibition of Islamic art.

We went twice while we visited. The artifacts are in great shape and they have a little of every culture. It was pretty cool to see all of it under one roof. I also have an exhibit you can climb for $25.

It was a very lovely place and there was so much to see. If you are someone who loves art this is the place to visit anytime you are in Houston and even if you are not an art lover, I promise you will fall in love with arts. The price was ($19.99) and you get to see arts from different era's and cultures. I definitely will be visiting again.

It’s really great to visit!! I spend 6 hours there, 3pm till close but my visit still not complete!! It because I love arts, I enjoy watching them (at least one minute each), read their description (yes, every single one of them) and watched all cinematic arts, that’s why 6 hours wasn’t enough for me. So I’ll go again next week. If I understand it rightly there’re 4 buildings of arts including the art school for us to visit. Tips: FREE general admission on every Thursday!!!

Went to check out the Kinder building. Absolutely mind blowing! Such a treasure to have such an expansive and well curated collection right here in Houston Texas. Free entry on Thursdays is just the cherry on top! I highly recommend this world class institution to anyone who lives in or visits Houston

Wonderful Exhibits! The additions that have been added over the past 30 yrs are incredible. I've been visiting MHAF since I was a teen. Now, many years later, I'm simply awe struck. We live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vacation in your own city bc there's so much to see and enjoy!

Fantastic collection of pieces covering hundreds of years of history. Loved the descriptions of each room on the wall to help give some background information on pieces on display. Whilst the collection being spread across 3 buildings is a bit cumbersome - having to wander between them was actually very nice and added to the experience.

By far one of the most knowledgeable and enjoyable art staffs I’ve ever been around. Outside of being phenomenal sales agents, wonderful concierge and receptionists; each person you encounter will most likely have some tidbit of knowledge about the selected texts, curated production pieces and set pieces or even just history of the site and the facility. Walking into this specific MFA is both a classically endearing experience with histories most resilient and timeless works of art, but also an incredible showcase of the humans of Houston and how phenomenal they are.

Enough can’t be said and enough can’t be seen in this wonderful treasure of a place in the heart of Houston. A rich collection of art work exhibited with so much details, oozing information and knowledge. Enticing artists, historians, architects, and exhibitors alike.

The new addition to the MFAH is extraordinary. The space, the art, the complexity, the design, and even better it is located in the heart of Houston. Featuring artists like Rothko and Picasso and visual experiences by James Turrell this place is a must see!!

The Museum is fabulous but too many people were admitted for me to feel safe from covid-19. All were wearing masks but not all would social distance.

I haven't had so much fun- AT an art museum! Of course I went a teenager, so fun is a must, thus MFA really delivered. If you are looking for a great place to reconnect with a loved one this is a great choice. Only thing is you will spend at least $55 including parking.

Amazing collection of the finest art. Breath taking and exquisitely displayed

This museum is very large with 3 different buildings along with an outdoor sculpture garden. There are two separate parking garages along with some limited street parking. Their permanent collections are very versatile and well arranged. They have frequent special exhibits from around the world for an additional ticket price.

This is by far one of my favorite museums in Houston. They have so many different exhibits and collections of art from paintings, to statues, to ancient artifacts that will have somebody who isn’t even a fan of art giving their opinion on which piece they like the most. The rich cultures on display and the pieces dating back to before the Americas were even founded make this museum so breathtaking and an amazing place to visit.

I spent two hours here before my feet gave out. This is an amazing museum and I likely saw 2/3 of it in that time. Lot's of variety and well curated. Highly recommended place to enjoy the beauty of art.

Brought my daughter and her friend. Very interesting art and so much history. The kids would’ve enjoyed the museum of natural sciences a lot more so if you have young children then this may not be the best suited. Now if you love art and have time to stop and read each of the pieces then you won’t be disappointed. Just wear comfy shoes and make plans to spend much time of you want to see everything.

Admission is free on Thursdays but unsure what times. Today they had many students from many school districts on a field trip. Lots of art. I think I don't appreciate art as much as other may but some stuff was interesting.

I am not the fine arts museum type, but this one has something for about anyone. That's probably it's made of multiple buildings. The layout is a tad confusing. And they have these monochrome tunnels where the lighting force you to see in a shade of color. Really weird and exciting at the same time. We spent 2h without being able to remotely see the whole thing. Plus it's free parking and entry on Thursdays, but there might be restricted areas inside.

My husband is an MC Escher fan so I surprised him with a visit to the MFAH temporary/traveling Escher exhibit. It was FANTASTIC!! We only had time for the Escher exhibit but I've been to the museum in other occasions and it is just wonderful. The diverse art, the ambiance, the feel-just a great art museum all around.

Another great museum in Texas. I loved collections of this museum since I love European paintings. If you are big fan of Henri Matisse, you will love this place. There are lots of beautiful European paintings from various painters. I highly recommend this museum who loves art. I am planning to go back next year. I was in hurry when I visited here in 2019 so couldn't see other than European Paintings.

This is a fascinating museum. It has three buildings connected by tunnels with different kinds of art installations. The video screen installation by the main entrance was fascinating to the young and old alike. It is well worth the visit. I could have spent far more time here. The museum map does show what installations are in which galleries, so if you have a particular interest you can get there more efficiently.

Thursdays are free with a ticket reservation. Pretty cool venue. I didn't know much of the art pieces, but I was able to appreciate all the hard work displayed. I did find it interesting there were certain images that spoke to me and I was able to provide some form of connection. Like any other museum there was a gift shop at the end that had some really cool experiences.

I visited the MFAH on a Thursday and I was pleasantly surprised by how much there was to see and do. The admission fee and parking were free, which was a nice bonus. The museum has a diverse collection of art from different cultures and periods, ranging from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary installations. I especially enjoyed the special exhibit on Impressionism, which featured some of the most famous works by Monet, Renoir, Degas, and others. The museum is very well organized and easy to navigate, with helpful signs and maps. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they answered all my questions. Nice way to spend some hot houston days!!

Great art museum. I really enjoyed their collection of European and American paintings. The impressionists exhibition was a real treat for me. I spent all day at the museum and didn't have enough time (6 hours) to see the Kinder building's modern and contemporary art. I tend to read every placard and take my time looking at each painting. Hopefully, I'll see it the next time I'm in Houston. I like that the different buildings are connected by an underground tunnel so you don't have to go outside and show your ticket again at the next building (and it shields you from the weather). The museum was easy to get to from my hotel. I took the Red Line train to the museum district stop and it was just around the block.

Beautiful, beautiful museum. You can get 4 people free access to all exhibits if one of them has a Lone Star Card! I didn’t know that until they kindly informed us, and we didn’t have to pay a single cent for entry. It’s a spacious museum, and there’s even a cafe inside where you can sit and grab a quick lunch. The parking garage is pretty easy to find and inexpensive compared to most places. Great place for photos too!

The Museum of Fine Arts Houston is a stunning and modern museum with a relatively small number of exhibits. It excels in showcasing contemporary art through installations and works by contemporary artists. However, when it comes to classic artists and compositions, the museum appears to be lacking. I hope that in the near future, this museum will provide the opportunity to view a greater number of paintings by renowned artists from past centuries.

I was pleasantly surprised by the collection of this museum. The mix of European art with other regions of the world really brings a balance to the perception that visitors can get in their visit. The buildings are large and don’t feel cluttered, and the artwork is well preserved. I recommend the museum thinking about a recommended visit for newcomers, or an audio guide that can give more insight into specific works (if there was one, it was not offered to us).

Simply Excellent! What a collection of some awesome art! This is housed in a collection of buildings connected via some beautiful tunnels. Lot of great art from all over the world. There were also some temporary exhibitions which were spectacular - the impressionist exhibit and another spectacular immersive experience by Yayoi Kusama! We visited for a couple of hours over Thanksgiving weekend and there is so much more to do at this museum. We could have easily spent another 4+ hours. Parking Tip - Park at 1144 Binz street - easy access to the Beck Building. Bag Tip - do not take your bag or even water into this museum as you will need to go to another building to drop off your bag - not worth it. Food tip - we didn’t eat here but heard that it was expensive $$$ - lots of good eating options nearby (Fia’s Pizzeria for example is a 5 min walk. You can take the car but may need to pay for parking twice.)

Visited on a Sunday afternoon and we really enjoyed the exhibits. The staff at the front desk and throughout the several buildings were all kind and welcoming. There were not many people in the area or so it seemed because we were able to take our time and not feel crowded / rushed. Overall would return and continue exploring as we did not get to view the entire museum due to time.

I go every Thursday with my son! We always get all access tickets. It feels so full of life, and all of the volunteers are so helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend to any out of towner or anyone who loves the arts!

It was better than I expected. The Museum is divided not by centuries and ages, but by Empires and countries of origin. I liked that very much. I visited during weekend, it was a bit busy, but there was no rush. Has cafeteria inside if you feel like eating.

Excellent museum. It's huge, and has an excellent selection of art from a wide array of schools and eras. The rotating exhibits are often top notch, as well. We've got an annual membership, which is really reasonable if you go just a few times over the course of the year. But, there are also many ways to get in free, just poke around on the website and see if any apply to you.

Long time fan & member of MFAH. They do a great job of bringing fantastic art from around the world to us here in Houston and their permanent exhibit is outstanding. The events for members are very very enjoyable as well.

Very safe and clean.. Enjoyed the exhibits and had plenty to view

This was my first visit in a long time. It was a great time. Norman Rockwell's work was on exhibit. It was wonderful to see his work up close and personal literally. There were so many amazing works to see there. I highly recommend a visit.

This museum is large, I didn't get through it all but I saw a lot of cultures represented in art. From Egyptian and middle eastern to oriental, Indian and European. Spacious and absorbing. I was enthralled by the meticulous maintenance of the place. It was an amazing experience.

The Museum of Fine Arts was so lovely. There is a great selection of vintage art, modern art, paintings, sculptures, and more. It was a little difficult to navigate with a baby stroller , though they do have elevators. Houston is an amazingly diverse city. If you're visiting you don't want to miss the Museum District! Come see how wonderful it is.

Great museum with fascinating rotating exhibits. So many different types of art to look at and admire. It’s a bit pricey but supporting the arts isn’t a problem to me. I loved my visit and will definitely take friends when they come in from out of town. This museum is a gem.

Spent 3 hours with my granddaughter there exploring the main galleries but also the special Norman Rockwell exhibit. A lovely day. Being a member got us free admission to everything and a discount on the covered parking garage.

It’s a nice museum, but guards were rude and we got called out for non sense four times. Couldn’t even enjoy the museum without feeling intimidated. Museums are for people to go have fun and appreciate the different kinds of art out there. It’s not for people like the guards to just be getting after us, we’re adults WE KNOW right from wrong, we’re not children yet they treated us like children. Never coming back here again.

Don't get a chance to go there often. But staff seemed friendly and helpful. Displays were well marked. Audio tracks available for additional info. Polite attendees. Just like to catch a little art/culture from other eras when I can.

Great exhibits

Such a exhilarating experience....both shows were 'show stoppers'...Bacon's Late Paintings and Soul of a Nation are mist sees!!!

Love the place ??

We enjoyed all the beautiful paintings.

Went here with some friends from overseas and they were fascinated with the amount and quality of art this center carried. The countless amount of works that are world renown rivals that of some national museums. It was kind of crowded when I went a year and pictures were a little hard to take. Other than that, it was a pleasant experience.

So proud of Houston having this museum.

Really good place, finding parking might be tricky though. The Museum has several buildings, but we were able to visit only one ( dunno, maybe it’s because of COVID-19 era we are currently in). The collection is really impressive, spacious halls and really friendly staff. The thing that absolutely blew my mind is that they have some stuff from ancient Egypt that is like 3-4 thousands years old. Want to get back and explore this place some more!

Great museum surrounded by other museums. Great collection of art and staff that knows their stuff. Recommend 100%

I love this place! Great exhibits and I can literally spend the entire day perusing every peice of art.

Incredible works of art and history here. Prices are not bad either.

❤⚘

Beautiful collection and exhibits!

Love it!

Great Exhibit

Always amazing!

Beautiful place

Amazing collections of such beauty that you will be overwhelmed by the sight of it. We got to see the impressionist exhibit back in October when we were in town for another event. It easily became my favorite part of the whole trip. Would love to go back when we're back that way.

Great exhibits! Honestly, every time i decide to go is like they got a new exhibit in. This is my favorite part of the museum.I pay for it but coming in on Thursday with my siblings is fun. I ve been here like 100 times, yet it still teaches me something new every time i go. I like their parking garage its pretty cool. I enjoy the walking aspect as well as the food they offer. Staff is always cordial and helpful.

Awesome experience!! Had a great time!!

Covid protocols in place. Makes for a low capacity experience.

(Translated by Google) Excellent museum with very good works of art. A tip is to go on Thursdays, both admission and parking are free and the museum is open until 9 PM giving time to tour it. (Original) Excelente museo, con muy buenas obras de arte. Un consejo es ir los jueves, tanto el ingreso como el estacionamiento son gratis y el museo está abierto hasta las 9 PM dando tiempo para recorrerlo.

Great permanent and traveling exhibits

Excellent collection, has a large collection of gold from aroind the world. Good European collection as well.

Go visit now without the crowds. Totally different experience without noise.

The best museum in Houston.

Very impressive collection. The architecture of the biulding must be admired as well. It was a great surprise!

Great museum with a lot to see.

Great experience fun and clean cafe

Amazing Norman Rockwell exhibit.

The MFAH is a very well organized museum with plenty of rooms and modern facilities including video installations. The temporary exhibitions are always very interesting. Prices are reasonable. I recommend the membership if you love nearby, it’s a nice spot where to spend some Houstonian hot summer afternoon. Interesting the movie hall where you can watch films never seen in commercial cinemas.

it large, quite and you can spend the day wandering. i think the price is too high and they really should work on a city pass type thing where you can get membership to al lthe meuseums for a reasonable price

I used to live 2 blocks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY so my standards are pretty darn high or HMFA might well get 5 stars. The permanent collection was good but somewhat limited. The Rockwell exhibit was good and had good, interesting and highly informative signage but barely fair and very limited audio. The gift shop and cafe were both very good. The $6.00 freshly made not frozen pizza included a drink and made a great snack for two. I would recommend that the museum tell callers inquiring about free Thursday admission that the Rockwell exhibit is not included. The additional $23 would have been a rude shock if I hadn't thought to ask ahead. The employees I interacted with were, with one exception, extremely nice and helpful. My only complaint is that when offered the free audio device at the Rockwell entrance and having inquired if it was hearing aid compatible I should have been told headphones were also free and available instead of having to learn from a museum patron. When I went back to get the headphones and mentioned this to the young lady who I'd asked about hearing aid compatibility her reaction was to simply hand me the headphones with a complete lack of affect. BTW, the museum buildings themselves are wonderful. My single favorite thing was the picture of someone's pet bird in the children's art exhibit in the hallway leading from the main entrance to the cafe that gave the bird's name and said it eats Pringles. Also the child"s collage of the two people watching the sunset with hearts around touched the emotional parts of me I like best. What can I say, I'm a softie at heart. Think I'll go view the viral video "Dinosaurs in Love" one more time. The beauty/clarity/simplicity of childrens' emotions is the essence of art to me. All the rest is technique and execution learned later and added like seasoning to food.

Love the fact that they offer viewings of Oscar nominated movies as well as more obscure and cult films such as the Japanese art house film "House" or the kiwi mockcumentary "What We Do In The Shadows".

Soul of a Main exhibit was very enlightening. We enjoyed it.

Been to quite a few varied exhibits here. The staff is nice, the people who frequent the place are nice and unobtrusive. I enjoy it and will definitely go back again. Great place for a date!

The Spain Art through History is quite worth the time and if you go early social distancing is very easy.

Went to see exhibition called Soul Of A Nation. It was laid out beautifully. Very informative, provocative and interesting to view. Staff greeted us upon entering. Policies in place due to covid-19 such as mandatory masks and temperature checks. I bought our tickets online which was suggested. All in all still a great experience. Go to the museum!

Very relaxing and enjoying.

Went for Soul of A Nation, a very impressive catalog of creative artistry with collective works from black artists showcasing a myriad of black unity/faith/love/pain/power over the span of two decades. Loved it!

Place was pretty empty because of covid. But the employees were nice and extremely helpful.

This is an excellent art museum to visit! There are so many boring museums with large spaces and very little art. This one is different! There are 3 buildings of art. What I liked about it is how diverse and rich their collections are! French art, islamic art, surrealism, academic painting, 19th century, and contemporary art. Really a lot to see and get inspired by!

Wow, so many building so many floors. Bring your walking shoes. Something for everyone.

Good place to see some art. Not the best collection I’ve ever seen, but appreciate the breath of styles shown. Could use some updating to their Africa gold exhibit

I went here with my kids and we enjoyed ourselves quite a bit. Parking was a bit of a hassle but it was worth it with all the exhibits. Next time we will go on a Sunday afternoon though I'm guessing it may get crowded. The staff treated us wonderfully.

Very nice exhibitions with a lot of space to move around and view. Very professional staff Notably Rebecca was very helpful with my queries about the place.

(Translated by Google) Very educational (Original) Muy educativo

Much better than the rest of the museum of this district.

The galleries were excellent and informative.

Very few museum in Texas can reach this level of this wonderful museum.

Great selection of work from all over the world

Lots to see! Free on Thursdays. Buy tickets online. One of the better Houston Museums!

Oh is a Dreaming place!!!

Absolutely amazing! Inspirational on many levels! If your an upcoming artist and know you have talent definitely pay it a visit!

Lots of great pieces. Good way to spend an afternoon!

Perfect for me is the career i like to begain

Wow so many points of interest need more than a lifetime to appreciate fully

Superb van Gogh show on diplay with a great permanent collection as well. Easy parking

Stunning

Beautiful museum. Great place for a family day

Very nice museum with a variety of art types and ages. We spent more than 2 hours and know we missed a few things.

High variety!

FAVORITE PLACE

New Kinder building is amazing!

This is an awesome place to go to off of the city light rail train. They are very environmentally clean around the property and have a great selection.

Perfect art museum!! Full day of fun. Follow my insta @keacherr

Great! The new building is beautiful!

The new addition to the MFAH cements it amidst the top gems of Houston’s must see locations.

Love it so much. The staff was so friendly and kind as well they added to the experience.

Awesome place to go with family. Free every Thursday!!!

Always enjoyed their tours and the beautiful backdrop for photos are amazing 🤩

Excellent display of fine arts. New pieces from Spain were great.

I really love this museum, but today they force my 2.5 years old daughter to wear mask which my daughter doesn't want then we left the museum , I'm understanding everything about Covid 19, but we can't force toddlers

(Translated by Google) For those who love Fine Arts, this museum has two gallery buildings, sculpture gardens, a movie theater, cafeteria and more areas; where your eyes will have a feast of incredible pieces and objects that you can contemplate and enjoy. Collections of the greatest masters of art, such as Francisco de Goya, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock and many more. Although I am short with the description of the place, it is advisable to go for comfortable clothes and shoes, as well as choose a schedule that allows you to enjoy your stay to the fullest. Always check his page to know about the exhibitions throughout the year, schedules and prices. They also have an area where you can buy decorative items, books and souvenirs related to Art.

Amazing visit and Covid safe

The new building is full of good art. Just what I would expect from a Fine Arts museum

Lots of painting and sculptures to look at.

Great experience! Ernesto Neto exhibit was definitely interesting & fun for all ages. The expansion was incredible. Plenty of social distancing & plan an entire day.

Absolutely fantastic museum that’s composed of multiple buildings, stunning art gardens, and a fun walkway tunnel to get to other buildings! There’s something for everyone from little kids to the oldest adults. Houston is very lucky to have such an elegant, well kept museum full of wonderful exhibitions and artwork. The MFA is the place to be on any day for spectacular artwork.

Small, modern building and easily walkable museum, but packed with many different forms of artwork.

This place is huge. I didn’t know it was three buildings. We saw less then half of it. We will have to go back, maybe a few times to see the rest. We saw a lot of great art. One of my favorites was a Lego sculpture.

I was blown away by how beautiful this exhibit was. Diverse and unique art that is FREE and open until 9 on Thursdays. I couldn’t recommend any more!

Best place to go if you are interested in art! It includes 3 buildings with 3 different topic, they are connected by elevators, so you don't have to worry about crossing the road. It took us few minutes to find parking garage, but it's all good. Make sure you are wearing a comfortable shoes, otherwise you will have hard time to finish all 3 buildings, they all have elevators, but every level is pretty big, so you will have some walking.

An EXCELLENT art museum! We went for the extensive Impressionism exhibit and also enjoyed the rest of the art in the building. Give yourself PLENTY of time as there are 3 separate buildings. You'll probably need 2-3 days to see what you'd like to see. Super worth it.

MFAH has been steadily improving over the last few years. We particularly enjoyed the Picasso Calder, Obama portrait and Escher exhibitions. There are several convenient parking lots attached. Membership pays for itself after 1-2 visits and offers discounts on parking. Cafe Leonelli has been a nice addition. Looking forward to going again

One of the most exquisite places in Houston. I like to bring a paper and pen to jot down any ideas that come to mind. As a student with a tight budget, I enjoy coming on Thursdays, since MFAH is free from 10am-9pm. However, feel free to visit on other days to support MFAH. The Impressionist Gallery is my favorite.

One of the best places to visit in Houston.

Love the building and the large exhibit space. My favorite is the bamboo exhibit. What a great wya to use the nice tall space. Great museum!

This relatively large venue for independent films is a great resource to the central Houston area! Loved being able to tour the museum and view art while waiting for a screening of "Lantouri" last weekend at the Houston Iranian Film Festival. I only wish I had gotten there far enough in advance to also enjoy the cafe.

One of my favorite museum in US or Europe. Philadelphia is astonishing but the more casual approach here makes it.more welcoming. Check out sculpture garden before leaving.

Beautiful art, rude staff, and poorly marked cut offs for exhibits, but they have free days, and overall the experience is really enriching

Loved the Norman Rockwell Exhibition. It’s a must-see. My highest recommendation.

👌👍 (thoroughly good)

Cost - $19 without the special exhibit, $26 with it; another $10 for parking fees. There are 3 grand buildings as well as garden areas within the MFAH - and all are equally amazing and awe striking! Chalk out an entire day (at least!) to be amazed by paintings, sculptures, old relics, modern art, and interactive exhibits. It was crowded however each building is so huge that you are sure to find several moments of solitude to think about the art you observe. There is also a well rated cafe and restaurant within the building, although I didn’t have time to snack at either. A wonderful way to spend a hot summer day in Houston!

We went when they had 2 special exhibitions. 1 of them was really cool. However, The other was not the greatest. Most of the staff is courteous. However, there are staff members who are rude and not so friendly. We were at the place during closing hours. With 15 minutes still left for closing we were asked to leave the building and be in the parking before 6. We wanted to check 1 last section and this was not acceptable. It is worth a visit if you are into fine arts and museums. Overall an okay experience.

I loved how we traveled to each museum through tunnels. Even the tunnels were a work of art. My daughter enjoyed her visit. We stayed about 5 hours, wear comfortable shoes. You do not realize how much there is to see.

Great to spend a hot summer afternoon in the fine arts museum. Bank of America “museum on us” gives free general admission for the first full weekend of each month. Three buildings: Beck building for Mediterranean and European arts, many oil paintings; Law building for African, Asian, the Pacific, and Islamic arts; Kinder building for modern and contemporary arts. Each carries unique exhibitions.

Been to a lot of museums, not really siete where this ranks. The add on for lights wasn’t really worth it, but o well. The impressionist exhibits was an additional add on and felt like getting nickel and dimed. AC was great as it was super hot outside. Museum spread out over 4-5 buildings and maps/guides could have been better, hard to tell where things are at

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this remarkable museum, and I must say it left me in awe. The museum boasts a delightful collection of both modern and classic arts, with an added bonus of midcentury modern exhibitions and captivating temporary displays ( I visited the impressionist and post-impressionist temp exhibit) What struck me as unique about this museum is its architectural layout. The various buildings are interconnected through underground tunnels, creating a truly immersive and intriguing experience as you journey through the exhibits. While I found the signs to the entrance slightly ambiguous, it was a minor inconvenience that didn't overshadow the overall visit. To fully appreciate everything this museum has to offer, I recommend allocating a substantial amount of time. It could easily take 3-4 hours to explore every corner, and even longer if you desire to delve deeper into the artwork and uncover more about the artists and their creative processes. I do suggest studying the floor plan in advance and devising a plan, as it can enhance your visit and ensure you don't miss any highlights. Despite this small logistical aspect, the museum's exceptional collection, immersive ambiance, and opportunity for deep exploration make it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts.

Allow plenty of time, no- take 2 days to see everything at a leisurely pace. There is so much to see here, this was definitely a highlight of my trip to Houston. There are many interesting galleries for everyone. It’s very clean and there are plenty of people to help answer questions and guide you through the different buildings which are connected via tunnels.

Thursday is admission free. Parking garage is $10 for up to 4 hours. Parking garage connects to the ticket counter. Then use under ground tunnel to the museum buildings. The Glassell Gold collection is very impressive.

There was a massive collection of Arts from all over the world. I could spend my whole day exploring the museum. It was such a fun and informative experience. Free admission on thursdays😁

Lovely place. Composed of several buildings with three floor and connections underground. Very spacious and has collection of arts from all time and places. Plan for three hours minimally. There s a gift shop, cafe and kids play ground.

So much to experience inside and out, it has grown so much throughout the years , so if you plan to see ( and read the detailed descriptions of ) all the exhibitions we'll need to come again for maybe three to five days from open to close. Beautiful artwork and beautiful peoples.

went here with my girlfriend the place was gorgeous will definitely be coming back. Went on the free day and it was not at all crowded everyone was able to give amazing directions as to where we needed to go. parking was also really good!

What an amazing Museum!! Went to see the Vertigo of Color: Matisse, Derain, and the origins of Fauvism exhibit. The museum has so much to offer and easy to find your way around. Highly recommend if you’re in Houston.
