Museum of Illusions Houston
Museum
👍 This museum was just opened recently in September 2023. It has a lot of very interesting exhibits of very famous optical illusions. It's highly attractive, and many of them were well designed. But the whole place is not very big, and you can go through pretty much everything in less than an hour.

👍 A must see if visiting Houston. Large exhibits with a lot to see. I wish we would have visited during the week because it was very busy and there was a lot of children running around. The food court was healthy. I really enjoyed my visit but missed a lot because of the crowd.

Harrisburg Art Museum
Art museum
👍👍 The Google Maps has this place on the other side of the street, but this place is very easy to find due to the immense scale of the buildings. It says Houston Texas on one side.
