Review of The Menil Collection

What a pleasant surprise. My husband and I arrive...

What a pleasant surprise. My husband and I arrived at the Main Building of the Menil Collection around 1:00 pm on a Saturday in February. Before entering we weren't really impressed with the exterior. Upon entering we were very impressed with the design of the building and the collection within. Each gallery has one wall of glass which exposes beautifully designed gardens that cannot be seen from the outside. The galleries are laid out so that it is ready to go from one to another. You will find pieces in the Menil Collections spanning Ancient to modern times.

There is no admission charge. We were treated to an interesting music program hosted by DACAMERA Young Artists and Friends. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and didn't get to visit the other buildings in the Menil Collection. We will definitely return again.
