The Museum Of Fine Arts Houston In 1 Minute

The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, also known as MFAH, is one of the largest museums in the United States with 270,000 square feet of exhibition space. This museum is also the oldest art museum in Texas, founded in 1900. Located in the Houston Museum District, the museum is home to approximately 64,000 art pieces from every continent but Antarctica.
Placed perfectly in the heart of Houston, this art museum consists of eight facilities: the Caroline Wiess Law Building, the Audrey Jones Beck Building, the Nancy and Rich Kinder Building, the Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden, the Glassell School of Art, the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, and the Rienzi.

The main buildings, the Caroline Wiess Law Building and the Audrey Jones Beck Building, feature galleries for changing exhibitions. This summer, the Kusama: At The End Of The Universe exhibition will be housed until September 2016. Both buildings are connected by the underground Wilson Tunnel, a favorite amongst all guests. The museum’s pieces range from African Art with masks, knives and hats to ancient Egyptian pieces complete with a polychrome coffin of Pedi-Osiris.

Having the largest and most diverse art collection in the Southwestern United States, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston is a local favorite and quickly becomes liked by all visitors.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination.
