Museum District

History! Fun! Culture! Educational! ...for the entire family! Is there a need to say more? Don't mistreat yourself and miss the Musuem District! Old charm in an updated environment... But perhaps the most important consideration -- You don't have to blow a wad. Pros: Good parking, Location, location..., Inexpensive Cons: Avoid rush hour..., Construction funk!! more

If you go on the right day, there isnoi admission charge. Even when there is, it's well worth it =) more

o.k. i'm not much for the catchy title. But the museum district is a treasure of houston everyone should see. Firstly the Architecture the Menil Colection is perhaps the greatest work of Renzo Piano one of the most influential architects of are times, he also did the Cy Twomby Gallery next door. The Bissonet/Montrose face of the MFAH is the only curved facade designed by Mies Van der rohe (one of the fouder's of modern architecture) which was ever built. The Byzantine Frescoe chapel, the Contemporary Arts Museum & the Holocaust museum are also worth the trip for their architecture alone and i running out of space to say any thing about the Rothko Chapel, Noguchi Garden, and the MFAH's new wing. Not to metion natural sciences and so on. Oh yeah, beside the architecture thay have Art and Stuff Inside. Pros: Architecture, Variety in area Cons: MFAH ain't the Met more

Never have I ever lived somewhere else where there was such a collection of FIRST RATE museums located so close to one another! To visit and see and fully appreciate every one of them would take at least 3 days... more

Do NOT miss the Titanic exhibit currently on display at the Museum of Natural Science in Houston. Set aside 2 hours for the tour. Be prepared to be amazed. Good for all ages. Pros: Value, Access, Quality Exhibits more

Something for everyone...space, insects, old masters, modern art, history, medicine and science...it's all in the museum district...Houston's best kept secret! more

World class museums and eclectic eateries make the whole museum district a fun day or evening place to be. Pros: Knowledgeable staff, great displays, good parking Cons: too crowded weekends, Zoo opens too late, Miller needs more AC more
