Gerry ManacsaJune 29, 2012The MFA folks don't allow bike parking on the railings and poles around the campus. You'll find a bike rack hidden in the parking garage or you can store it at the coat check in the Beck Building.- Fodor's TravelAugust 29, 2017The MFAH covers world cultures, including art of the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Be sure to check out the sculpture garden with works by Rodin, Matisse, and Giacometti. Read more
Rebecca RaiaMarch 5, 2017It's a fine fine arts museum. I look forward to seeing their massive Latin American Art collection which is currently not on view. Their movies program is awesome!
Jimena TerlakisOctober 13, 2019Try to spend at least one whole morning/afternoon here. The collection is quite complete and the temporal expositions I guess they’re always a surprise. I’d get the membership if I lived in Houston!
Kaustubh ThirumalaiMarch 24, 2016This is an intriguing museum with an excellent international collection to offer! Recommended!
Flavia FreitasApril 9, 2017For all art lovers out there definitely a must go when in Houston! Vast selection! Ron Mueck's exhibit is definitely something else! What a talent! Amazing work!
TopSpot Internet MarketingDecember 27, 2013Web Developer Rachel: "I've always liked art museums, and the MFAH is definitely one of my new favorites. It helps that you can also go see films here if you don't feel like walking around."
Joshua MawMarch 30, 2018Go on a thursday - it’s free! Bit of a mixed bag of stuff, no real identity/theme but quality of the exhibits is v high. There are better museums in Europe (obviously) but pretty amazing for Houston.
Marion DOctober 19, 2015If you only have a couple of hours, spend them in the Audrey Jones Beck building. Antiquities and American art on 1st floor. Permanent collection of European art on 2nd floor.

The summer armchair movies are a wonderful way to experience exhibits from a round the world without leaving home. Well done documentaries featuring many of the masters.
Luisana PerazaAugust 24, 2014Definitely if you still have time you have to come over and see the Soto Penetrable it is perfect! Geometry, movement... Just perfection
Parking lot across from museum fills quickly on weekends & other busy days. Park for free 2 blocks away at Glassell School (5101 Montrose). Bonus?- Cullen Sculpture Garden is on the two-block route.
Dat ChuSeptember 1, 2014Special exhibitions that bring art pieces from around the world to Houston. The underground tunnel has a light panel that can be used for cool photograph effect.
DJ ScoopNovember 30, 2011One thing Houston is known for is its diversity in Art, and Museum of Fine Arts is the spot where Diversity exists in Art World, Great Spacious Museum, love it when they have their Night Life there.
Lily EricksonAugust 15, 2017It's an amazing museum!!! I've been coming here since I was a baby and always has the best experiences!!!!!
- Kathryn AndersonAugust 21, 2015If you have kids, take them to Shadow Monsters! On view until Sept 20. So fun. Especially on free Thursday. #shadowmonsters
- Jo DobrowskiAugust 23, 2015Very cool! Lots of artifacts from all around the world. Only made it through one building, though. Definitely plan a couple of hours to make it through.

Unholy UndeadMarch 31, 2016Surprisingly big. There are tons of great pieces, even some by the masters here and there. A must see in the city.
Andres ElizondoJanuary 10, 2017The base museum offerings are worth the price of admission, with the traveling exhibits added on for the more curious.
Manuel FloresMarch 11, 2016Went for the Sculpted in Steel show (which was great) but also enjoyed just walking though the seeing the art work.- Arce DuarteOctober 22, 2015Students get reduced admission, if your an art student and have an assignment, sometimes you can get in for free with your student ID.

Laura HelfrichFebruary 27, 2012Save big bucks with the CityPass for 5 venues... The Cafe Express restaurant is a tasty part of the MFAH as well! Don't forget to walk the 'tunnel' between the two buildings :D
Ricardo HernandezDecember 12, 2015Great collection of European art: from Van Eycks to Rembrandts, Degas, Picassos and one Hopper.
Eric BarnettMarch 22, 2015Make sure you do the audio tour. Totally worth it. You get so much more out of the museum.
