The Menil Collection

Fantastic as always. You can spend an entire day in this museum. It is much smaller than the MFAH, but the Menil has a niche collection of objects, artworks, and installations that rotate around. Check out their surrealist section! 🖼️ My only thing is that I wished they would do something about the green areas with the glass; maybe a mini art exhibition there would brighten up that space. 👍 Overall, this museum is amazing. There is also the drawing institute nearby. The Rothko Chapel is also a must-visit! 😀

A relatively small yet fine collection of for example Margret's paintings, Picasso and Max Ernst and Andy Warhol. Yet, the true sensation is the park all around the museum building, the similar restored more than a dozen older one and two storey building create a park like atmosphere students and Houstonians love to hang out.

A final visit to a place I associate with hope and beauty. Last time there was an installation that was a musical twang from a stringed instrument that was motivated by the flow of water. It's melancholy sound expresses my current mood. Alas it isn't present and soon neither will I be. Farewell. At least the arts have patrons.

Mean older staff that was run after you and police way too hard. Can barely enjoy the museum through the mean stares and being followed. Free entree. 4 different areas. Light installation was not worth the walk.

Great museum- free, great to visit with excellent surrealist and contemporary art collections - think Warhol. Love going and the architecture really accentuates the physical and art space. Highly recommend!
