MFAH Reviews

It's always nice to visit the museum specially on thursdays when it's free admission.

Excellent, we saw the Van Gogh Exhibit! There are also several free lectures being offered through April 13th exploring Van Gogh's life and legacy.

Great art, I went to check out the Kusama installations and they were so good!

We love it here! So many amazing exhibits. They have an education room in the lower level and they run lots of special programs.

Great museum. Cat wait for the expansion to take place.

Love this place, always worth visiting the new exhibits.

A beautiful museum with unique displays. There was plenty to keep me interested for hours. I know digital art is here to stay-I don't get it as "fine" art. My opinion.
I would say this is a must on a visit to Houston. I was visiting a friend a MD Anderson. The concierge had coupons for free admission. Check your hotel or hospital if you're visiting.
Parking at this museum is 2 almost 3 blocks away. I'm mobility challenged. On a 90+ day, those blocks were tough. No handicap parking closer. Street parking is 2 blocks away (all full).

If you're artistically inclined,it's a must visit place!

Honestly a pretty amazing place with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff parking is not great but that's true for all of Houston

Love this place. I love to come here and walk around and enjoy the art work. It's a very educational and moving expirience. I definitely recommend anyone to attend.

New exhibits to see every month. Love visiting here.

A great museum with everything from antique statues to modern Houston photography.

Exceptional museum. Lots of rotating exhibits so there is something new during each visit. Free admission on Thursdays. Check out the art and artifacts of Islamic Lands, Korea, Japan and India.

A must visit and I will go back next time I m in Houston.

It's a wonderful place to view art exhibits and take leisurely strokes in the sculpture garden

Great permanent and temporary exhibitions. General admision is free on thursdays but not for the special exhibits.

My favorite museum in Houston. They always have amazing exhibits and a huge variety of painting from the various time periods.

The museum is so extensive you could get lost in there for hours, floating between the exhibits and their permanent installations. Great for art lovers or just some extensive culture in there regional exhibits from all over the globe.

This was my first visit to the museum. I really enjoyed seeing the Picasso paintings, but the openness of the rooms makes it easy and comfortable to stroll through and take your time studying your favorites or simply enjoy the arts on a relaxing day. I will return again if in the Houston area.

Free General Admission on Thursdays. Special Exhibits excluded.

The Oscar de la Renta exhibit should not be missed. There through 1/27/18.

I went on a Thursday night and I had a great time. There are many interesting paintings and sculptures to see while you walk around. Make sure that you come early because finding a parking spot can be a little tricky. I would recommend this anyone.

Loved the art museum, great selection of things, good souvenir store but overpriced

Half off the entrance fee for college students. Great place for families and couples.

Beautiful! I enjoyed the serene environment and great displays, especially the Houston artist's work

This place is cool art and cool ancient ARTifacts. Nice staff

Great place. Went here for the film fest. The event was great and was informational and interesting. I saw a documentary called "Saving Brinton" which was based in saving the Brinton films, the oldest theatre in the world, and much more. The restrooms in the museum are clean, and some of the art inside is quite interesting. The modern art across the park was very nice to eat lunch in, as well as the innovative design of the building. Great place to visit in our free time.

The collection is a diverse, carefully selected cross section of human cultures, highlighting the amazing diversity of arts across the globe. This is a museum not to be missed.

I think it's a place that everyone should experience and going within their lifetime can be a little pricey but it's very interesting.

Awesome museum with beautiful ladies there exhibits. It's free on Thursdays!!!!!

You will need more than a day to visit the double museum complex! Is incredible

It's a great museum with a convenient location and lots of acreage for world class exhibits. There's quite a lot of construction in the area and traffic might get bothersome at times. So plan ahead

I was spoiled living in Chicago and New York and the access those two cities afforded to public and private art, but the MFAH is an anchor tenant to the Museum District here in Houston for a reason. The museum has benefited from the oil boom with an impressive collection from around the world from many of Houston's leading families in addition to collections from countries in the mid-east of historical art. And recently the traveling exhibits have really been top-notch, experiences my kids are old enough to enjoy: Kusama, Art Deco Cars and Motorcyles and Van Gogh.

Long walk from parking if you are handicapped. Great exhibits.

Do not pay to see the light exhibition. It's literally a small room with Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling. They also project visuals but those are not impressive at all. Amateur at best.

Well organized, amazing exhibitions, great shopping at gift shop as well.

Visited yesterday after being many years ago. General Admission in my opinion is limited and the where the old parking lot was something is being built ( I think a garage) so be prepared to find parking elsewhere. MFAH is still a great museum.

I suggest going later in the day to avoid the crowds

It is a lovely facility and an excellent permanent collection. I am looking forward to seeing the next exhibit on the British - from the Tudors to the Windsors.

This place is HUGE. We were there for 6 hours and did not even skim the surface. We ended up walking through quickly while looking from side to side to try and not miss anything.

Can't wait to return! You must see Ron Mueck's work, it's ticketted, but worth it!

The most fabulous place to visit. And I only saw half on this visit!

3 separate buildings of Art! A 4th may also be open, now!

My first time there today. The museum itself is interesting, but some of the staff is rude/snotty. Just because you work in an art museum, that doesn't make you better than others. And it seriously doesn't give you class. My family has memberships to: Houston Zoo, Moody Gardens and the Science Museum. Although I like the Museum of Fine Arts and thought it was interesting, we will NOT be getting their membership do to their snotty employees. Although there were a few good, courteous employees, the snotty ones ruined it for me. Not worth it.

Permanent exhibits are really worth seeing, but you have to come for the traveling exhibitions

Exceeded my expectations. Tudor to Windsor royal portraits were amazing!

First time back in a while. My husband and I didn't realize it was free every Thursday. Thank you

Beautiful collection. Hard to find information upon entry. No real lobby? Museum guards weren't as helpful as I'm used to at the National Gallery, for example.

One of the many awesome Houston museums. Constantly full of amazing exhibits

There's some amazing pieces. Id love to see an audio component like in nyc but the whole museum district is well put together.

The art museum had some very beautiful exhibits. The bamboo peice was amazing. Eye really liked the fact that it was interactive you could add to it and even walk the bridge. The reason eyem giving three stars is because they got rid of Cafe Express and there's a racist undertone.

A first class art museum - it's not the Kimball, but nothing else in Texas is - the Houston museum of fine art is wonderful - one of the three best in the state.

Amazing sights! I've seen some of these works of art in pictures, but to stand before them is even more incredible.

Excellent exhibition on Berthe Morisot. Well explained with an amazing selection of her paintings, showing her talent and diversity

First visit and it was a wonderful experience, but could not see everything . We plan to become members.

An absolutely fascinating place for the whole family. We enjoy old movies and new documentaries as well. This museum offers a wide range of precious exhibits.

Literally Speechless . uber for best experience during evening or mid-day visits

The best museum of fine arts in town. I love how they have different exhibits every so often and appeal to a wide variety of genres in art

Too much for one day! We had to get a year membership- which was less expensive than seeing two of the time-limited exhibits.

I love MFAH. Last time I was there to see Vincent van Gogh. They decorated very well this exhibition, a lot of fun for kids.
Highly recommended.

Amazing museum with changing exhibits and an unbelievable permanent collection. It keeps expanding!

This was a second visit for me. It was Thursday so free admission all day. I loved the new exhibits. Houston MFA is always a quality exceptional experience.

Wonderful! Never enough time in the day to walk through.
