Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Museum District · Houston, Texas
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is the largest art museum in the American South, with a collection of more than 70,000 works spanning 6,000 years across all cultures, periods, and media — presented in a campus that includes two landmark buildings by Mies van der Rohe and the Glassell School of Art, one of the leading art schools in Texas. The collection's strengths include exceptional European paintings, one of the finest collections of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art in the South, a distinguished collection of African art, and a growing contemporary wing reflecting Houston's increasingly international cultural ambitions. The museum's Isadora Duncan sculpture garden and Bayou Bend Collection of American decorative arts make it one of the most comprehensive art experiences in the Southwest.
