When you are in the market for Mexican curios, you need to stop at Casa Ramirez. They have an assortment of Mexican imported curios. Ranging from loteria cards(Mexican Bingo), Pinatas, Mexican blankets, colorful pottery, panchos, hair accessories, and those are just to name a few of the eclectic finds there. There is always a bargain to be had, and it is just plain fun to shop. And if you speak with the owner...he will fill you with the history of the Mexican culture, and folkloric stories.

Pros: Free parking, Great Value, Educational Fun

I've never knew you can learn so much at a museum. Here at the funeral Museum they have a display of modern day caskets to caskets used back in the old days. They show you carts that were used back then. This place is very very interesting. The cost of ticket is very cheap so you can take your whole family.

Every single time I go to the Galleria, I always go in to check out this store to see if they have anything new and impressive. Each time stepping foot into the store, I tend to walk out with at least 3 to 4 artworks...either contemporary metal or abstract oiled paintings. The salespersons are helpful and are very nice and are willing to answer any questions you have. They respectively give you space while you browse through their gallery of artworks, while readily available if you need assistance. They even allow you to return the paintings within 2 days so that you can see if the artwork you purchased is right for your homes. Majority of the time, they have in store sales and you can even bargain with them. They don't do the whole "alright, I'll take $20 off of that painting," if you ask nicely, they will drop it from the original price by at least $200. Also, if you like to order a particular piece from their catalog, they would also do so and sell it to you cheaper than the price printed in the catalog. All and all, this store beats other art store competitors due to their lower prices. Trust me, I've been all over houston looking for modern-contemporary artwork and compared the prices. Other stores sells same artwork for more than what it should cost. I highly recommend those of you who plan to purchase artwork for your home decoration, go check out this store before you get rip off by other expensive art sellers.

The discovery of this amazing chapel was the highlight of my trip to the Menil Collection. I have since then returned more than a handful of times to show all of my friends my discovery. The beauty lies in its simplicity and amazing ability to use light. I could sit inside the chapel for hours just to relax. The chapel is a wonderful addition to the Menil Collection and definitely worth going back to a thousand times over. You must experience it for yourself because these words simply aren't doing the place any justice.
The collection includes the a dome and an apse that was ripped and stolen out of a chapel near Lysi in the Turkish occupied section of Cyprus in the 1980's, cut into pieces, and smuggled off the island by thieves prepared to sell them piece by piece. The pieces were rescued and the Church of Cyprus is allowing a long-term loan of the pieces in the new building designed especially for them. This is a must see stop on anyone adventure to see the great features that this location has to offer, the rough stone, opaque glass, and rich woods, to the extraordinarily spiritual effect.

The Museum of Printing History is a small, pleasant museum that focuses on educating people about the history and technology of printing.
Although it's a small museum, it's a fascinating look at an industry that most of us take for granted, no matter how many times we pick up a newspaper or a book.
Highly recommended.
