MFAH Reviews

Their Van Gogh exhibit was very well designed. It runs until June 27th 2019.

It is always good to feed our culture, specifically it caught the attention of the Mexican muralists, among them for me the most important, David Alfaro Siqueiros and of course Diego Rivera

Love this place. Took my daughter for her 24th birthday and she was so happy.

I love the museum is huge and there so much to see.

A jem of Houston! Great collections, knowledgeable staff, and free Thursdays. Parking is not as great but OK. Cafeteria is surprisingly good. Highly recommended if you have time and interested in the exhibitions/collections.

Good museum with a beautiful collection of art of all ages and many countries. It lacks a common thread to make everything coherent

Absolutely love this muesum! Seemed so much bigger than the last time I went (elementary) lol.

This review is mainly for the sculpture garden across the street from the museum. The sculptures are exquisite. I recommend this for anyone. It is free and beautiful. There is also the Cloud Column that is quite a sight. It is from the same sculptor as the Bean in Chicago.

Vast variety of exhibits & stores.
Definitely a Must-See.

I usually don't enjoy art museums but this one was so interesting. I was sort of sad that they didn't have the light exhibits that I REALLY wanted to see. But the ones they had were still interesting

Excellent Museum, bit of a confusing layout and not quite up there with the Getty Center in Los Angeles but still a great collection here in Houston.

Maria Ong, I don't think they give student discounts but they do (or did when I was in college) let you in for free if you came in with a drawing pad and tell them you were there for Art class. Or just go on Thursday when it's free (if it still is- about to find out in a bit. Lol)

I always have an amazing time at the museum. The permanent exhibits are extensive and beautiful.

The stroll through the history and the artifacts is breathtaking.

Large museum with an incredible permanent collection and an amazing array of rotating exhibits. Museum staff was friendly and helpful.

Nice place to spend an afternoon. Displays a wide range of artistic artifacts from different time periods, including a few pieces by famous artists such as Picasso and Monet. The building's architecture is also a sight in itself. Temporary exhibits are always interesting.

With multiple special exhibits at any time and the permanent exhibit, there's always something worth a visit.

Went during the Van Gogh exhibit because my school had a reservation, that was made three months prior. Everyone was told that we could see the permanent exhibit but we had to pay to see the Van Gogh exhibit because they couldn't find our reservation. Also got stuck in an elevator for like five minutes.

Great museum, it is convenient to purchase the year pass as is a little more than one visit ticket and you can go for one year as it has great exhibitions changing constantly. Main collection is impressive! Also it has art curated movies and different events.

Great psrt of Houston's Museum District. So many beautiful works of art, and many from artists that I didn't think a city like Houston would have. Their permanent collection is great and they also have great and unique special exhibits as well. Could easily spend the day here. Dont forget their outdoor sculpture garden as well.

Royal portraits exibit is amazing and. Must see before its gone! Staff was friendly and always helpful

Never tired of going to MFAH. Art work displayed is always fresh and evokes thoughtful conversation. Restaurant has yummy selections.

Great museum with great exhibits. It has all of the classics. A must see when in Houston.

Excellent museum. It's huge, and has an excellent selection of art from a wide array of schools and eras. The rotating exhibits are often top notch, as well.

We've got an annual membership, which is really reasonable if you go just a few times over the course of the year. But, there are also many ways to get in free, just poke around on the website and see if any apply to you.

Precious is the first time I come but you have to admire all the works of art again. Congratulations.

I love all the art work. I could spend my whole day here.

Loved it, beautiful art in the center of downtown Houston. Worth every dime coming here if your into museums!

Highly recommend visiting the Van Gogh exhibit while in Houston! What an opportunity to see so many amazing pieces by a legacy. The rest of museum is beautiful too. It is so amazing to see art from all over the world, not just the West.

Excellent place to enjoy good works of art. There are days when access is completely free. Wide gallery of paintings and rooms where sculptures are displayed. You can also enjoy works of art by famous painters like Van Gogh!

The new building is full of good art. Just what I would expect from a Fine Arts museum

An amazing place! Worth visiting and spending many hours observing and learning!

Superb! A must see! In addition the area is beautiful

I liked the exhibitions I saw: "Adios Utopia" and the photographs.

Check out the Home - So Different, So Appealing exhibit before it ends on January 21, 2018. Very well done with some very thought provoking pieces and powerful stories. Makes you pause and think of what makes a home, what life is like for the many without, and how striving for a home changes you. Make sure to see the piece of a sliver of a home, the piece made of clay, and the conversation between father and son in their different homes.

Nice experience to be able to walk indoors when it's hot outside. A lot of different things to look at but some seem to repeat a lot

Great time checking out all the exhinits you can pack. Van Gogh is a favorite of mines and it reminded me a but of the one in Amsterdam as some of the works from that museum was brought in and the design language was teanslated well here in Houston

I love MFAH! Such good exhibits, always have loved it here. I need a membership again asap!

Great collection, particularly European Renaissance and Impressionism... Nice special exhibits, great antiquities. I have visited 9 major art museums in the U.S. Since July so my wife and I really loved our weekend in Houston. The security guards are not friendly, try to intimidate many of the visitors and clearly don't like what they are doing - polar opposite experiences at Memorial Art in Rochestor, Blanton, McKay, Chicao Art Institute and Crocker to name a few - the Houston Fine arts crew were hostile.

Gorgeous gallery, the building itself is a piece of art. Beautiful and quiet, I highly recommend this museum!

Clean lots of great exhibits friendly staff especially the special events

Fabulous Fashion Show and Supporr for the HCC Fashion and Arts Department. It was really great to see that the featured students for this show was an older generation. It is so inspiring to see those past a certain age pursuing their passion and their careers and HCC giving them the platform and the opportunity to pursue that it's absolutely amazing. older Awesome

Interesting artifacts and pieces among world cultures. In my opinion, it was very spread out but worth it.

Beautiful place. I exceed my expectations. From the famous typical Picasso paintings to pre-Columbian pieces ... And art from all over the world. Amazing. Thursdays is free

Best day to go is on thursdays since entrance is free every thursday. They have a wide selection of art and they have different featured artist every now and then. Great museum to go

Loved the exhibit they had here, friendly staff, lots of exhibit and the place is huge

Great museum. Too many people taking pictures with their phones or family pictures in front of paintings come on people

Has got a varied set of art to look at. The van gogh exhibition was good, but could have been arranged a lot better as a lot of his work changed with time. Cafeteria is good and people are very helpful.

A fantastic experience, especially if you'd like to learn more about art and history. Doesn't just include local art but famous art all around the world such as Van Gogh and Picasso.

Always has evocative, intelligent exhibits and a great permanent collection

Really nice. It took us almost 4 hours to go through it all, which is a great and detailed museum without going through the additional exhibits.

You need an easy 2 hours to go through the levels and both buildings.

Great museum and plenty to see. the grounds around the museum are nice to walk around also.
