Reviews of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (Museum)

Annie S.

I visited this lovely museum last week after learning they offer free admission on Thursdays. What a treat! So serene and so much art to admire and learn about. If you feel like being surrounded by beauty in a calm atmosphere, this is your place.

I went to visit during memorial day and to my surprise there was a lot of people. I was still able to enjoy the art expo around the museum. The staff is so nice and are solely there to aid the costumers and of course to make sure the art is well taking care of. It was such amazing day at the museum;).

Wayne M Smith

Amazing Art Museum wit featuring contemporary art exhibitions touring through Houston.

Joy Patel

The best place ever visited. What a collection of paintings from each culture, period, movements, countries etc...

Ariel Lewis

Spectacular museum. I was surprised I was able to see so much with just a $17 general admission ticket. It's so beautiful and HUGE. So much to see.

b4by lungz

breathtaking. no other words. the Van Gogh exhibit was awesome

Levi Caparoon

Really nice museum entry is free for the basic museum special exhibits may have a charge but just up from the zoo and a nice place to visit.

RITA HALL

I enjoy the beauty of the item's displayed and the stories & history they come with. It's an amazing place. You won't be disappointed & there's so much to see.

Mark Kirschke

Exceptional museum. Lots of rotating exhibits so there is something new during each visit. Free admission on Thursdays. Check out the art and artifacts of Islamic Lands, Korea, Japan and India.

Nicole Noga

It's always wonderful to see world renowned art pieces and the greatest thing about this museum is its proximity to other popular attractions in Houston. I am from out of state so another visit would be a longer drive for me however I feel that the time and monetary investment is more than worth it.

Erica Duck

I love the different displays and genres. The gift shop is pretty cool too. Expensive but cool. If you go on Thursday admission is free. It excludes special exhibits, but it's free, in Houston, and the basic exhibits are very nice. Also, they have an art school upstairs. I hear it's very good.

somiddho bosu

This is a box of surprise hidden at a street corner in Houston. Love there collection of painting and have revisited many a times.

Javier Alaniz

There is Renaissance European to Modern art, and not to exclude the local contributes. I could list names of the artists work but go check it I out if you are a cultural appreciated and catch them out! I do miss the Bosch piece they had

Alexander Soriano

Excellent museum, lots of things to see. You must go on a thursday for a free ticket

Cheryl Jones

It was a wonderful visit. The docents were friendly, I met new friends. It was a comfortable experience. I will go again.

Allison Aquino

Our city's treasure, this museum is one of a kind. Recently went here for the William Forscythe: Choreographic Objects and it was a quiet but impactful experience. I went with my 3 year old and baby. Staff were so helpful and let my son quietly play through the exhibit. I love this museum.

XxChim85xX

Beautiful place to appreciate art! If you're a lover of any type of art or cultural objects this is the place for you! Expand your artistic side of your brain and learn something new!!!

Shelley Lockwood

A great day spent with my daughter for my birthday. So special

Jayme Hunt

The MFA is always bringing in great exhibitions. I share a duo membership with a friend and it’s an excellent value! I love being able to drop in whenever I want. The lectures and films are also top notch.

michaela ezell

Amazing food in the cafe, good to spend a whole day there, only complaint is the works of motion kind of exibit was just one interactive piece that was fun but for ten dollars not worth it.

Temitope Johnson

Incredible home to amazing art! I loved exploring the depth of human creativity in and outside the museum building. You will not be disappointed.

Alejandro Cárdenas González

Beautiful space for all to enjoy. Wish we had more in The Woodlands. Cafe was a delight with reasonable prices and nice food. Friendly staff.

p nivas

A perfect place for art lovers to visit the Museum for fine arts Houston in Bissonnet st,near Hermann park or Museum district metro station. Good artifacts related to painting and sculpture can be seen here. Intricate sculpted vases,chests and Indian art piece Natraj many mural paintings frames etc enthuse art lovers. Pl chek varying working hours. Restaurant with good food and not surge pricing. Parking at times difficult. Arts and music lovers do chalk a revisit, in Houston.

Robert Haynes

Excellent place to see a little bit of everything.

Jacob Marshall

One of the best places in Houston! I really like it, it's really worth it to get to this place.

Julie Pedroza

Nice experience to be able to walk indoors when it's hot outside. A lot of different things to look at but some seem to repeat a lot

Zach Kaufman

Restful and thoughtful stop on a getaway to Houston. The impressionist gallery is thorough and one of the best I've seen!

Nicolae Sapoval

Great museum featuring a lot of artworks ranging from early and medieval art to modern installations.

Katrina Campbell

Great place to relax and enjoy the view. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Thursdays are free so dont miss out!

Lara Hemilton

I love this museum. Always something new. Went on a members tour of Jasper Johns exhibit. Very informative and the docent that led it was wonderful with her lovely french accent. Saw the Monet to Picasso along with Berte Morriset exhibit which was breathtaking and a must see for art lovers.

Peter Moriarty

A fine collection of art from all over the world. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in Houston.

Svetlana Zamakhovskaya

My daughter and I went there to see renaissance section. We spent three hours there, but feel like one moment. Every time we discover something new.

Aida Awad

Beautiful collection. Hard to find information upon entry. No real lobby? Museum guards weren't as helpful as I'm used to at the National Gallery, for example.

Rachel Armitage

Today was my first visit to the MFA Houston, to view the Van Gogh exhibit. I went within the first hour on a Saturday and it was crowded due to it being a special exhibit. The staff was very helpful in directing us toward ticketing and the exhibit itself. There was $10 parking garage nearby, very convenient.

Patti Westbrook

World class art museum. Excellent exhibitions as well as a vast permanent collection spread across two buildings. There is an art school and sculpture garden as well. Highly recommend!

Jarrod Milstead

The museum had something for everyone. I only wished I had more time to visit. No need to purchase tickets on-line, you have to wait on the line to get your tag.

IBonePokemon4Fun

Thursday is free all day! It's like $10 for parking, great way to spend the day with the whole fam

adriana mendez

I really enjoy this museum, just make sure you are ready to walk because is a big museum. the only think I dont like is that you can not purchase tickets online so if there is a especial event you can be in line for 30 minutes before you can purchase your ticket. even with that I will still give 5 stars

Barbara Booth

I didn't go in, I picked up a passenger there. She loved it, and was very impressed that Houston has such a fabulous museum. I took her to the airport. She said she had been in town to meet up with friends, but their flights were earlier so she had decided to indulge with MFA. Apparently they made it easy for her to deal with her suitcases.

Michael Duncan

I have seen some amazing exhibits here. The Degas exhibit took my breath away. The Van Gogh exhibit was more than I could have imagined. Take a day and walk this museum. You can spend some time with the Masters.

Evelyn Calderon

Parking was $5.00. We went when they had the Van Gogh exhibition and it was ridiculously packed. Fortunately we were not herded like cattle through the exhibit but it was really crowded trying to see everything. Overall it was a good experience, they gave you these little audio players that talked about the paintings . That was really cool. If you're going to go, try to go on a weekday so it's not packed or get there really early on the weekend.

David Ayrapetyan

One of my favorite places in Houston. It has very open feel to it. Within three buildings, you can find art for your taste. I prefer American late 1800’s as far as paintings. I also enjoy reading the wise sayings on African shamans’ canes. If you have not been, definitely check it out.

Morgan Hepler

Highly recommend visiting the Van Gogh exhibit while in Houston! What an opportunity to see so many amazing pieces by a legacy. The rest of museum is beautiful too. It is so amazing to see art from all over the world, not just the West.

John Atkins

The Houston Museum of Fine Arts is a site to behold. Spread across two sprawling buildings and showcasing hundreds of artworks from ancient civilizations to modern artists, everything is curated and beautifully displayed. The museum has wonderful artifacts from Asian countries and a massive collection of gold artworks. The Japanese permanent collection is beautiful, with lots of information on the production of the old watercolors. There’s too much to write about but it’s a museum worth seeing and spending hours in. The cafe was delicious and we didn’t wait very long at all for our food.

Jason Accomando

“The Visitors” musical art exhibit by Ragnar Kjartansson was the most beautiful musical performance I’ve ever heard and seen and it wasn’t even live. I’m not too big of an art person as I’m here with my girlfriend who loves art. This piece really changed that and I felt overpowered with emotions and good feelings as I watched and listen to the musicians play their part in the beautiful melody

Clint Scott

I love the Fine Arts Museum of Houston. There are some great permanent exhibits, and there are always fantastic traveling exhibits. One can spend days in the museum and not truly take it all in.

angel leiva

Good place for the whole family,I'LL BE BACK

dieselbreakfast

Under 12 get in free, go get them kids some culture . It's nice and quiet and a very soothing place to go see some pretty pictures of the inside of the house and the other one is a good time for you to come to. Art is the best and I am not too smart, but I live to come here and I always feel better after the visit. No touching.

Ann Burruss

Large museum with a world class collection. There are multiple buildings with tunnels, stairs and escalators connecting some of them. This building system could use a better map or visitor guide. Still, don't hesitate to visit.

Bonnie Cuthbert

We visited the downtown tunnels and lunched at Beck's. I had a great bowl of chili and the men had hamburgers. Very good food & excellent service!

Mustafa Şahin

Museum is great. Stories behind the pictures are interesting. Museum is not small, if you interested in fine arts you should go. It will give everything what you expect. Also orchestra, you should go to know, was great. One of the greatest things in the world i see, so emotional.

Kelly Reinhardt

It's a good-sized collection with a fair amount of variety. Depending on your interest level, you could spend all day. This is probably my 10th visit, and I still see something new every time. It can't compare to some of the more "major" art museums in the US, like in Chicago or NYC, mostly just because it lacks the sheer volume and space...but it's an excellent museum nonetheless. Don't miss it if in Houston!

jose torres

Lots to look at and admire and that was my just one building

Prakash Shah

Nice museum place to visit. Conveniently located for public transportation.

Kayla Smith

This museum has some incredible collections. There is definitely enough to visit several times. I only had about five hours during my visit, and I was not able to see everything. I will go back the next time I am in Houston!

Christina Thompson

You really need two full days to walk through this! There was so much amazing pieces! I recommend doing a guided tour.

Wess Johnson

Hard to find parking. But it has some nice artworks. But not at the level of others world class museum. Too complicate to walk or drive

DiAYEgo Lopez

Love this museum. Has many great events throughout the year. The art is phenomenal. Highly recommend to come here and visit. The prices are reasonable.

Ed Callahan

The collection is a diverse, carefully selected cross section of human cultures, highlighting the amazing diversity of arts across the globe. This is a museum not to be missed.

Angela Moreno

Really cool museum with variety of exhibits can never go wrong dropping in here. They have extended hours right now & Thurs are free which is pretty cool of them to do.

Sarah Pickering

Beautiful facility with interesting exhibits from all over the world.

Ferret Gal Belinda B

While visiting my daughter who resides in Houston she took me here while a famous sculpture's huge lifelike exhibits were taking place. I loved it ! Highly recommend making this part of your tourist attractions !

Debbie Roper

Awesome exhibits! Well organized and there is a staff member in almost every area to answer questions or give directions. Very enjoyable!

Aquariqueen L

I LOVE this museum. They have so much to see and the events they have are great. I go maybe once a month and feel I discover something new every time. Will definitely keep going. The cafe is also very chill. The food I have had, even though pricey, has been delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Stephanie Nguyen

Always a great time here at the Houston art museum. Although their prices are steep I'm thankful that I still have my college ID to get that $5 discount. Parking here is crazy, I recommend parking inside the lots inside the museum buildings. If you know you will be here for a long time, I recommend carpooling and stay for 30 minutes for free or 30 minutes to a few hours for $10. I went to the van Gogh exhibit. Very interested in the type of paintings he used whether it were oil paintings or charcoal usage, the different techniques he used were very astonishing. They have free artwork made by students and other exhibits if you want to stay longer. This would be an extra charge. Pricey, but a great way of spending your day.

Alessandro Mora

I didn't expect the MFAH to be such a beautiful, well curated museums. Great collection of European arts. I also enjoyed their cafeteria and their delicious food.

Charles Murphey

WOW! Houstonians have some heavenly treasure boxes in the world of art. I am an artist who is grateful for the love-life of shared beauty building genuinely compassionate community. Houston is leading with World Class Style!

Oscar Morales

I love art and this museum has all kinds of it. So much to see and awesome that it's free on Thursdays. Fun time to see all they have to offer and staff is really friendly and informative.

Jianyi Nie

Gray museum with a good selection of tours! As it’s always the case with most art museums, it’s freezing there! I had to leave earlier than expected as I could not stand the cold. Take a jacket with you to fully enjoy your experience!

Kacie Mcgee

Went to the Vincent Van Gogh display, it was life changing! I've always wanted to see his work in real life, it was very well organized and informative. The interactive area was bright, fun for all ages, and really inventive! I didn't get to check out the rest of the Museum.

Meredith GoodDog

Fabulous museum, excellent special exhibitions, restaurant is top notch and gift shop is stand alone wonderful. I live in New Orleans and I am now a member! Worth the drive!!!

madison bachelalate

Very artsy. Lots of really good paintings. Way better than anything I could do.

Rifhat Wahid

Wonderful Museum that has come along over the years very well with up to date exhibits and events. Really worth getting a membership here. Great restaurant and gift shop inside. Easy to walk around. Lots to see then most Museum's I have been to in USA. Parking is hard and gets very busy as they have some building work going on but I managed to park at Hermann Park and walk over. Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and can guide and direct you well. Could easily spend the whole day here. Suitable for any age group. Clean beautiful environment. Museum district is awesome!!

Dan Gillotte

Great museum always with a visit when in Houston. Their fashion photography show was outstanding.

Girard Timney

Quality venue for viewing films at an affordable price. Loved the Manhattan short film festival.

Ryan Yasa

Really great museum and I have been visiting here since I was a teen. This museum rivals as one of the top museums in the country! They have rotating exhibits all the time. Really great location in the center if the Museum District, Medical Center and Hermann Park!

Gabe L

This is the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. There's just so many things to see during the day, and plenty of events.

KATHERINE SHARP

Wonderful exhibits. Lots of hands on activities and enlightening demonstrations. A mustvisit if you get to Houston.

Omar Tabbara

Beautiful museum with a very wide variety of art!

Mark Shipley

Great art. Mostly modern though and I prefer the classics. Still worth a visit

Clara Narvaez

Beautiful museum. I truly enjoyed it, especially the sculptures. Definitely recommend to come for a visit. We came on a Thursday, free admission, it wasnt packed at all.

Nathaniel Neubert

A wonderful collection of European art awaits. Walk through time! The collection is fairly comprehensive of the periods even if it doesn't represent very many of the more famous artists. Well worth your time to take the tour.

TheOverton86

This was my first time here. I'm not an art enthusiast but still enjoyed myself. Went on a Thursday (free in summers) and it wasn't too crowded. Definetly a neat place!

Russ Harris

Wonderful place! So glad I came. It’s a refuge from the heat, yes; but full of a variety of art & inspiration. Will definitely be visiting again on our next visit to Houston

Marjorie Butler

I just lived the culture and arts. I found it therapeutic. There was really good customer service. I live that the most.

Diane Albanese

The top dog here in Houston when it comes to fine art. I enjoyed the fashion photography exhibit and the impressionists. My favorite you ask? Matisse! This is an extensive and significant art collection and a great way to stay cool in the summertime. Also, very good restaurant!

Meileh Burns

Lots to see. Lot of Diversity in types of art. Modern art, ancient artifacts, renaissance paintings and more

Anthony Alexander II

This is really great for the kids. My son had a awesome time at the museum... Learning new cultures and how things were in the 1900's....

Dilip Ananthanarayanan

Has got a varied set of art to look at. The van gogh exhibition was good, but could have been arranged a lot better as a lot of his work changed with time. Cafeteria is good and people are very helpful.

Priyank Whitley

This museum houses an incredible collection of art, spanning various time periods and cultures. One could easily spend a whole day at this museum because of how vast and varied the exhibitions are. On Thursdays, the museum offers free admission to the public to view their general exhibition from 10am to 9pm, generously granting access to most of the museum's collections (with the exception of ticketed special exhibitions). The museum is also one of the few places in Houston that showcases independent films and art house cinema. This museum is my go-to destination when I find myself wanting to spend a few hours surrounded by beauty.

Josh Marines

Nice fun place to take the children n learning experiance for the whole family

Mary Chambers

Fun and amazing! Been going here for a very long time, and plan on always coming back!

Ola Alhammami

Can’t get enough of this place

Dawn Anderson

First time patron. I love museums; have been to some of the finest in Europe and the US. This one is probably the 1st one I've been to that I wouldn't recommend. Large spaces, but not alot of inventory, not enough places to sit and take it in, employees are every few feet too. Obviously there are alot of sponsors, their names carved into the walls ,etc. There are some lesser works of well known artists, artifacts from a variety of worldwide cultures that simple didnt impress. The gift shop was lacking souvenirs of the Museum itself except for magnets and postcards. A forgettable experience overall. Houston can do better.

Fatima Wood

I went to see the Van Gogh exhibit with a friend and it was FANTASTIC! We especially enjoyed the end portion where there was interactive exhibit of his art.

Brian Batchelor

Fantastic museum. Love the exhibits fun for the whole family.

Jillian Arriola

I love this museum! Great guest service and friendly staff. My one criticism is not with the museum but with some of the patrons. I'm all for bringing age appropriate children to see fine art. Its a great way to start a loving appreciation for artwork. However, strollers and other pushing devices are cumbersome and get in the way. I think most children under the age of 8 are probably too young. Yes, some of your children are geniuses, I get it. But nothing is more distracting than having an unsupervised child running through exhibits and cutting you off from seeing the art work. And when it cost $50 to get in that is very irritating to not be able to see the exhibits.

Trung Tieu

Huge space and lots of space for artwork. Not jam-packed full of artwork that makes everything feel cluttered. Lots of room to move around and stand back to observe art. Beautiful amounts of natural light for the first floor.

Courtney B

Beautiful facilities. I went for the Van Gogh exhibit and it was wonderful. You could tell they had really taken their time with everything. All of the exhibits are beautiful, and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Justin McSwain

This is a truly fine museum that has a lot to offer. My biggest complaint would be the prices in the gift shop, but you kind of expect that from a museum. We visited the Van Gogh exhibit and it was a once in a lifetime experience. They include a great gallery, allow you to take your time, and really put effort into the exhibits.

Annie Horton

New experience, must visit at least once. Beautiful sights.

Kirk Barilleaux

Thursdays are free to general admission galleries, but you still must pay extra to see the traveling and special exhibits. Take advantage of the drop in docent guided tours if you can. Very informative and worth the time of the free tour.

Green Leaves

Disappointed in their latest exhibitions. The Van Gogh exhibition has a few iconic works but the rest was so lackluster. I absolutely loved the interactive room set up with Van Gogh's iconic bedroom and so much more. This alone was worth the price of admission. The cafe is so hit and miss. A few days ago I was served burned french fries. How on earth can someone screw up french fries? I won't risk eating here again

Jamila R

If you love art it's one of the best places in Texas. A mix of classic and modern and majority of the time there's a great exhibition too.

Valeria Mcdonald

This is a first rate museum. Truthfully there is so much to see it's impossible to view in a single visit. I recommend selecting a couple areas of interest, focusing on those and visiting often. If possible as for a docent your to get more information about the pieces on display. They offer a unique view, opening your mind to new questions.

Sara Henderson

I highly recommend the MFAH. The exhibits are top notch. I especially like their photography exhibits. Recently they curated an exhibit by Sally Mann which was awesome. Photographer Sally Mann explores what it means to be Southern. For more than 40 years, Mann (born 1951) has made experimental, hauntingly beautiful photographs that address overarching themes of existence: memory, desire, death, and the bonds of family. I had the privilege of seeing Sally Mann when she gave a presentation about 15 years ago. Truly great photographer. This is but one of many exhibits I have enjoyed at the MFAH.

Jeanette Rodriguez

I was ecstatic to see Vangough's work and hands on experience the museum provided. He is my favorite artist so I was in Art Heaven. I also enjoyed many other artists I grew up reading about in the history books in college. The museum was spectacular. The $20 entrance fee was well worth it.

nick gaitan

I love MFAH! Such good exhibits, always have loved it here. I need a membership again asap!

Brionne Roberts

The fashion exhibit was everything! I have not been to the Museum of fine arts Houston since I was old enough to appreciate it. Visiting again as an adult, I have a true appreciation for the art.

Sharon Yang

This museum can either take you minutes or days to walk through, depending on what you see. The layout of a little bit confusing, but not a I-am-list kind of way. There are exhibits from all over, and it was fascinating to see everything on display. Camera friendly as well!

.

Gets great exhibits from other museums when they undergo renovations. Gets other good traveling exhibitions too. Has a nice permanent collection as well. Always enjoy our time there.

Angie Small

LOVED this pure ADVENTURE!!! My 78 yr old Mom, my 25 yr old daughter, and my 53 yr old self had too much fun with the interactive exhibits lol

CuLesha Collins

Beautiful! I enjoyed the serene environment and great displays, especially the Houston artist's work

Irais Avila

The museum is wonderful! So much beautiful art all around. It was a busy, but we managed to go early and it wasn't as busy. So I definitely recommend to go early in the day or maybe during the week rather than the weekend if you're trying to avoid a crowd. I definitely recommend to everyone.

David Sutton

Love it! Free Thursdays. I saw the Monet to Picasso collection. Awesome!

Roland Andrew

This was an amazing museum. We went to see the van Gogh exhibit but I was blown away by so much other art they had on the second level. The facilities were very clean and well-kept and the staff was super friendly.

Mohit Gupta

Nice museum and very informative. Visit on Thursday evenings for free. They also have happy hour in Thurdays. Also, free parking in the garage as well after 5 PM. They also have many events happening all the time. Check out their calendar on the website for latest events.

Edward Mitchell

What an incredible gem this is. My favorite pieces were the Remington paintings. I wish they would develop a good audio guide.

Mat Ri

Always see something new. The museum also has new exhibits frequently and sometimes special events like van Gogh. Friendliest staff. Good little food court in the lower level. Can sometimes be hard to navigate is the only minor criticism. Thursday is also free!

Allison Durham

First time visiting and really enjoyed the interactive Van Gogh exhibit! The museum is huge so we will be back to see more of what we missed the first time around. Staff was friendly and the museum was clean. The parking areas and entrances could be better labeled for the museum areas. We will be back again!

Laura Henderson

Overall great experience. Chose not to pay extra for some of the exhibits and was glad when I saw them.

Meagan Bender

This museum is HUGE and houses tons of beautiful works of art from ancient Egyptian sarcophagi to modern pieces. I was there for several hours and felt like I just scratched the surface of all there was to see! I spent a lot of time viewing impressionist-era paintings and visited the special Van Gogh exhibit, which was spectacular. If you are wondering if the MFAH is worth the price of admission and parking, I'm here to tell you it is definitely worth it. There is something here for everyone!

Shanice Drumgold

I just love this museum. It's a great place to sit and appreciate beautiful art.

Letty Misek

Never tired of going to MFAH. Art work displayed is always fresh and evokes thoughtful conversation. Restaurant has yummy selections.

Na Li

A perfect place to learn different cultures. I love going to this museum once a while, especially when they have exhibition from out of the country. Last time when I was there it was for an exhibition from Taiwan called the emperor's treasure. Now I have been to Taiwan before and visited the forbidden city treasure, but because the museum was very small and couldn't exhibit their whole collection, there's lot other amazing item I wasn't lucky enough to enjoy. But this time they brought whole lots other treasure that's not displayed while I was there. And how lucky I am to visit our museum while they displayed here. They are absolutely amazing. Highly recommend go to museum once a while to visit. It will bring you whole lot of great surprises.

Michele May

Went for the Van Gogh exhibit and stayed for all the other art, too. It's a great way to beat the heat and enrich your soul at the same time.

Stephen Brown

We love coming back here every time there is a special gallery! So many things to see and do, each time we go we discover something new! Definitely worth the trip!

Sergio Chavez

Great for when you wann time travel to the past, also great first date, alot to talk about

Rosaleen Doll

Beautiful!!! I love this place! Very friendly staff & helpful. Excellent customer service. The dinning area is kept very clean.

Thomas Piland

This is a great museum. Enjoyed the scan Gogh exhibit.

Leo Frantz

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.

Shannon Cusick

Lovely! I've never been to a fine arts museum before but I am so glad that this was my first one. They allow student in for free if they are there for an assignment - which I was. The exhibits were BEAUTIFUL. I never thought I would get to be close enough to touch a 3000 year old sarcophagus. It's overwhelming and a truly wonderful experience. You MUST go.

Mari-Ann Montoya

Love, love, love MFAH! They have fantastic exhibits that come through and I also have attended some of their special events. These pictures were from the Van Gogh exhibit and interactive section. I loved it so much I went twice!

karen brown

Wonderful tour...."Who is like the Sovereign Lord!"

Lucky McFly

Honestly a pretty amazing place with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff parking is not great but that's true for all of Houston

Laura Kirton

My husband and I bought the year membership, which I highly recommend. I've already been to the museum 4 times this year for the price of two visits, and I plan on going several more times this year. Last month I saw the Van Gogh exhibit which was excellently done, and this month we saw the fashion photography exhibit which was beautiful. It's such a quiet, relaxing, and cool place to spend a hot summer day.

Collin Jayroe

Cool place. Great area. Cheap to get in.

Raymond

Very nice buildings. I am not into art. Took my daughter because she has an art appreciation class paper to do. The art I do like is sculpture and realistic painting. Some very nice peices.

Patty Fong

Absolutely stunning! Offers free museum day weekly. Lots of people to assist as there are actually two buildings. Be sure to visit across the street or walk through art tunnel. Plus there is art in an outside park. Lovely downstair cafe with good food! Was able to view visiting an extensive Van Gogh exhibition through June 27, 2019! Included in entrance fee is audio unit. Excellent and easy to use. Loud and clear. Just point at painting and talk begins. Be sure to allow a day to roam and enjoy art collection at both buildings and park. Museum of Fine Arts is considered one of ten largest art museum in the United States.

Sean Cody

Great place to bring the family. Amazing works of art to look at and experience. Interactive exhibits for the kids. Friendly staff. Worth the money for the annual membership

Rhonda Gilezane

So much beautiful art all around. It was a busy, but we managed to go early and it wasn't as busy. So I definitely recommend to go early in the day or maybe during the week rather than the weekend if you're trying to avoid a crowd.

Emilie Taylor

Every Thursday the museum is complementary to the public. It’s a great place to immerse yourself with the origins and history from which the art came from. There’s a lot to see and plenty to learn. Parking can be a headache. They took away the complimentary parking from the church across the street. You’re now forced to either find parking elsewhere or park in the garage. Rates can be hefty.

Olga Cantu

You can find all kinds of pieces of art from all over the world. It's a wonderful experience. You will need more than one day to enjoy it!

shubhang goswami

Massive amazing museum! You cant finish it in one afternoon. Definitely recommend their special exhibitions which you prob need ticket for. Most of it is free, and its beautiful to look at. Go in the morning and spend the whole day, its marvelous. They even have a photographic art exhibit including one clicked by highschoolers. Must visit if you are in Houston

Sean McGehee

Loved it, beautiful art in the center of downtown Houston. Worth every dime coming here if your into museums!

Gracie Cintrón

I have seen many exhibits in this wonderful place. There is always beautiful art to be seen and leaves you breathless to stand in front of amazing art such as the last Van Gogh exhibit, painted in the 1800s. Wow.

Jasmine Albrecht

I had such a lovely time visiting yesterday. It was well worth it.

Mark Illingworth

The Museum is easy to get to from the nearby tram stop. It is spacious and well organised with clear divisions by themes, both geographical and era. The works are mainly pictures, but also furniture and some sculptures. Every work has a clear description in simple English free from technical jargon, giving information about both the artist and the context of the subject. There is an excellent restaurant offering a wide choice of food and drinks. Our visit was a good use of one of our days in Houston and a City Pass ticket.

A Federico RE

Big and with a considerable variety in its expositions. It counts with renowned artists like Monet and Van Gongh

Sarah Bradford

The museum is so extensive you could get lost in there for hours, floating between the exhibits and their permanent installations. Great for art lovers or just some extensive culture in there regional exhibits from all over the globe.

cassidy cotz

Very factual. Was a bit boring. Maybe because we got lost and spent more time looking for a way around then the art.

Jeanette Esquivel

Buy a membership! Definitely will pay itself after one visit to a special exhibit. Nice place to stay cool at during the summer.

Chhabi Mandal

It is Rich history. You can see all countries culture.Ancient art is wonderful.Looks like real.I really enjoy watching that day.I had my own pace.

Alice Quinn Schwarz

Consistently an outstanding venue for visual and interactive art pieces.

Different exhibitions for different kind of people. You can be there a little time or the whole day. It's great you have a free day - Thursdays. Enjoyed my visit!

This review is only for the Icons of Style exhibit, because I didn't spend much time in the rest of the museum, which I would love to go back and visit. I would highly recommend buying a ticket to the Icons of Style exhibit. They have a great complimentary audio tour to go with it and a fun, interactive photo option at the end.

The museum we visited was very clean, well kept and in order. Staff was polite and helpful. My family and I had an awesome experience!

Nice and fairly laid-back. We brought our toddler and he did alright but you can't plan to stay long with that age. Free Thursdays is really nice.
