MFAH Reviews

The Oscar de la Renta exhibit was cool. They have a well-rounded art collection as well

Amazing collection of ancient and modern art! I went on a Thursday and it was free.

Great museum and exhibits. The staff is a little rude at closing time.

Art is wonderful, and you can find it at that place

Well considering how the city of Houston doesn't really offer much for entertainment, this place is amazing.

Very good experience!...I really enjoyed my visit...

Awesome visit..there was a Van Gogh exhibit going on which was very interesting and educational..

Enjoyed time at the museum.
Did not realize that 3 hours almost spent there!

A good collection of exhibits, but many could have done with more description. Having been twice, I would readily go again; there's plenty of pieces to see

MFAH is awesome, well organized and has too much to offer (3 multi-story buildings). During my visit, there was also a brilliant exhibition of Van Gogh and David Hockney. Spending 3-4 hours there would be great and totally worth your time and money.

The museum district in Houston is largely funded by all the gas and oil money that's pouring in from the gulf of Mexico and from various points around Texas and that large source of private funding is blatantly obvious when it comes to the Museum of Fine Art. The museum always has amazing artworks from established painters like Rothko and Rubens but also experimental works from local Houston artists. Everything about this museum is impeccably well designed and artsy, and it's a great art museum and probably one of the best in the state, if not the country.

Our city's treasure, this museum is one of a kind. Recently went here for the William Forscythe: Choreographic Objects and it was a quiet but impactful experience. I went with my 3 year old and baby. Staff were so helpful and let my son quietly play through the exhibit. I love this museum.

We had a nice time today, esp with the bonus of being a free Thursday. The staff were helpful with guiding us when we were confused. Lunch in the cafe was excellent- reasonably priced, excellent quality.

I like to go on Thursday nights where they have music, food trucks and wine / beers and relax from work and enjoy the art and museum spaces. The progress of the new building is impressive and I can't wait to see it. It is one of my favorite places in H-Town!

If you love art you ll love this museum. They re always adding new art so if you don t go that often you ll be pleased to find that there s always something different to see which I love.

For those artistic in nature or who just love to appreciate good art, in the city of Houston, this is the mecca. Their admission prices are very reasonable and they're free on Thursdays. I've come here quite a few times and can't wait to get back!

Always great exhibits. Thursday free for viewing standing exhibits. A great reminder why Houston is a great art city.

Amazing place in all of it s collection, masters, contemporary and modern with amazing pieces from around the world. Don t miss the three connected buildings they are not properly advertised.

Wonderful time for the family. There are two buildings and 5 floors of art to see. There are generations of art work and the facilities are clean. The special exhibits are fun but cost about $18 a person. There is an underground tunnel that connects both buildings in the a.c.

The MFAH offers a great experience for first-time visitors and those of us who visit every few months. They frequently change what art is on display so there is always something new to see.

Tips for Visiting:
- It's free on Thursdays (excluding special exhibits).
- There is complimentary coat and bag check.
- Don't miss the light tunnel connecting the two buildings.
- Upstairs in the Beck Building (the building with the gift shop), the art is arranged so that you can walk through history. Ask a curator to show you what room to start in.
- The Beck Building has the art of the Western Civilization while the Law Building has the art of the rest of the world.

Excellent temporary exhibition of 20th century Mexican art. Permanent collection of paintings is very good but not great, with lesser works by major artists alongside the best of the second tier. Definitely worth 2 or 3 hours.

The present and the past in the arts. Original paintings by van gogh, toulusse lautrec, cezane, rodin. It is worth the visit. I love museums. Divided into two buildings. At least 2 to 3 hours of culture. If you visit Houston do not stop going to this museum.

We came on the 4th of July and it was pretty crowded but the museum was amazing!

May 2019 - the Van Gogh exhibit is a must see and find the Light Tunnel after stopping by the sculpture garden.

What a fantastic museum this was. All of their galleries were wonderful.

A place for an old soul to breathe and get in touch with a bit of history. Need to revisit.

It was easy to check in and get help with everything I needed.

Enjoyed the MOFA. Obviously a very clean establishment. The people that work there are friendly and everyone gets in free on Thursday's. There's a lot to do so make sure you get there as early as possible cause it will be an all day thing.

Is an okay place for adults and teenagers lol not kids especially babies n toddlers ..moms be aware there is alot of stairs so there no no stroller access!!!

Great exhibition spaces. Bright light and impressive collections.

Had a great time there on Museum Experience Day, featuring free general admission! Parking is hard in the area, and requires payment if you're anywhere near the museum. But it's a nice place to walk around once you're parked, especially if you have a Museum District walking map.

You should darken these doors at least 4 times a year

Went for the Van Gogh exhibit and stayed for all the other art, too. It's a great way to beat the heat and enrich your soul at the same time.

Great visit. So glad we caught the Van Gogh exhibit!

Awesome! A very private collection of Monet to Picasso & Berthe Morisot, inspiring! Seniors $18.00
However, I am visiting Houston and my friend is a member, so she paid $6.00 for the both of us. Parking was free with validation. Membership also gets you an audio guide. If you live in the area, you may want to join!

Surprisingly great, they have a fantastic Remington collection.

Always a delight to visit and enjoy the new exhibits. We don't live close enough to visit on a weekly basis but I know that if we did, we would be there.

An environment for the whole family. A beauty.

I love this place. There are always great exhibits. I think they have a theater too. Also free parking is definitely a plus

I love it. It's the best.
I plan to be a lifelong member

It is very large and there is a lot to see. You can not go all in one day and stay exhausted. I recommend it if you are a lover of art and history.

Covid protocols in place. Makes for a low capacity experience.

As a local, MFAH has been one of my favorite places to visit and hang out in Houston for years. The location is amazing - right in the heart of the city next to Hermann Park and the Texas Medical Center. Walking distance from the MetroRail. More

You find objects, paintings, etc. from different parts of the world. Of the Mayans, of the Incas of painters like Picasso, etc., impressive.

Awesome exhibits! Well organized and there is a staff member in almost every area to answer questions or give directions. Very enjoyable!

Very cool place staff was exceptionally nice, this is a must visit museum in Houston...

Simply amazing. One of the best curated art museums in America.

The place is like any other fine arts museum, not saying it's a bad place. Each month (I could be wrong) they bring in something new or so. There was one day I came to MFAH and they had Legos on a table spread out for people who want to create something, and I thought that pretty neat.

What's being done in the museum districts is amazing and a must visit!

Great place to come for contemporary modern or religious art, holds keys for the youngsters who want to make art

We came for the Bamboo exhibit. The price of admission varies but does offer general admission to the museum as well. We paid for parking in the museum garage a block away. First 30 minutes are free. And it's worth it to keep your car cool on the Texas heat. Aside from the Bamboo exhibit there was plenty of FINE Art collections from around the globe like, India, Korea, China and Africa.

Wear your walking shoes; there s so much wonderful art to see you can t do it in one day!

Great art museum with awesome exhibitions. Recommend Mueck
