MFAH Reviews

Bit pricey for venues packed like a can of sardines. Fun nonetheless.

Loved the Vincent van Gogh exhibit. The staff was kind/helpful

This is good for all ages... kids, adult and grownup grandpas
Everybody !

Very cool place. Only saw 2 exhibits and not the general admission pieces, but everything was very cool. Really enjoyed the pixel forest!

Marvelous museum!! Wander around and gaze at the many magnificent paintings and sculptures. The museum is peaceful and air conditioned. A fantastic retreat from the terrible traffic and city noise. One day is not enough to see it all.

Had a great afternoon walking around the museum and taking in the Monet to Picasso, A Very Private Collection exhibit.

The lady at the front desk was very rude. She did not clarify on any questions we had. Will not be coming back! She acted like our confusion was an innconvience to her. I did not appreciate this at all.

WOW! Houstonians have some heavenly treasure boxes in the world of art. I am an artist who is grateful for the love-life of shared beauty building genuinely compassionate community. Houston is leading with World Class Style!

This museum had many rooms of beautiful exhibits. While busy, it was not overcrowded and there was no detraction from enjoying the museum at a reasonable pace. The museum offers free entry on Thursday.

A FANTASTIC collection! I just so happened to see the Norman Rockwell and Jasper Johns exhibits.

Great place to go and get your mind blown!! The exhibits housed there are truly inspiring, one of a kind, while some are just mind boggling.

We enjoy coming and seeing all the exhibits. Definitely glad to have bought a membership the first time we payed the place a visit.

Great exhibits and awesome, awesome building. Always have a great time here and if you buy a membership, most exhibits are free! It's a great investment!

Workers there really liked to stare at you. One even came up and YELLED at my group/another few people for "touching" a work when we weren't???

Interesting exhibits, friendly staff & much-improved food

We went to see the Van Gogh Exhibit. The paintings were beautiful and nicely displayed but the crowd made almost impossible to spend any real time viewing the work. Also, as I m in a wheelchair, people crowding around a piece made difficult to see.

Wonderful museum! I've enjoyed every visit.
The Oscar Dela Renta show was MAGNIFICENT

This special exhibit began in March and goes through June 27, 2019. It is a must see! It showcases some of Van Gogh s early sketches and models. It is beautifully mounted and has many oil paintings from the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. You can see one of Van Gogh s 27 self portraits, the Irises and other masterpieces. Some of the early sketches are a revelation! This is the only museum where this exhibit will be seen and was co-curated by the MFAH. It is a must see for art lovers. If you can, go early in the morning when the museum first opens and try to avoid the weekend because It is being well attended and gets crowded! But worth it!

A great place to visit! See Van Gogh's paintings before the 27th of June.

My daughter and I both loved it. The Van Gogh exhibit was amazing!

Went for the fabulous Van Gogh exhibit and also enjoyed the varied general admission offerings.

Amazing collection of artwork and exhibits. This is a perfect place to hang out with friends or take someone on a date. The collections and exhibits are wide ranging and constantly being changed which makes this not only a one time visit but a place you can visit every few months to experience new art.

This is a good museum with interesting exhibits. Their permanent collection needs a major refresh though. The movie theater inside is a big plus

This is a great place to visit in Houston, with a great collection very well displayed. They also offer activities for children. Plus they have special exhibitions like the Van Gogh one until June this year. Btw, don't miss "The Light Inside"

Awesome..very educational..but you need at least two days to see it all

It's always a pleasure going to HMFA. Even better on free Thursdays with the kids! Super excited they have the new underground parking structure off of Montrose.

Nice museum we went for the spring fest please follow me on instagram @peshmo

The new Rich and Nancy Kinder building is amazing, especially inside. Something to look forward to when I return these next few weeks of the holidays.

This has been a favorite place of mine since I was a kid. I make sure to stop in every few months or so to check out their amazing temporary exhibits.

I loved ! Keys comfortable clothes. The place is great and you will see countless works of art

Layout can be a little disorienting, opt for the maps from the front desk. Amazing artwork on display with some interactive kiosks for further information. Photos allowed, flash is not

Really nice place to go and spend hours admiring amazing art! Also, the museum is free on Thursday, so you can give it a try that day if you want to know if is worth it. Warning, expect a lot of traffic that day at the museum.

Great art exhibition for all tastes on Thursdays is totally free to exemption from a certain exhibition in this case was part of the British crown, I recommend NOT PURCHASE THE CITY PASS since the museums have one day off per week

Lots of interesting art to look at.
I went there for an art project.

Fantastic museum. Love the exhibits fun for the whole family.

Thursday night happy hour: free entry to general exhibit, cash bar(accept credit cards), food truck.

I can't believe it's already been 7 whole years since the Tours with Tut exhibit! It was very moving and magical. I'm very attached to the worlds only living mummy, TuT, he's more family to us than the world that took his life, a few thousand years ago! He still LIVES here on earth, and will forever stay, living through our hearts, as well and as one working, living body of beings! Tah be with you, Tut!
You're friend forever,

Great place to relax and enjoy the view. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Thursdays are free so dont miss out!

I found the Museum very nice. Very friendly staff. Thursday is free admission and parking. There are other exposures to which you must pay. I found it very good, however short.

Took my kids during free Thursdays and it was a good time. Light Tunnel was fun.

So much to see! Make sure you grab a map. :) I am looking forward to my next trip to see the new area that was just completed!

Many types of art. Religious, flowers, statues, etc So much detail it's pretty amazing.

There are security guards every where. If you have a question ask Franklin! (A security guard)

If you're a student, bring your student ID so you can get in free. I've heard it's free on Thursdays. The average entrance fee is $20.

If you are coming with a crowd expect to be here for most of the day.

Wonderful place! So glad I came.
It s a refuge from the heat, yes; but full of a variety of art & inspiration.
Will definitely be visiting again on our next visit to Houston

Exhibit was nice. No Starry Nights, not even reproductions...

Van Gogh exhibition is so well done. It is a great study of 10 years of creativity. Go see and listen to it and you will love it too.

Great part of town. Lots of trees and a gorgeous building. Right next to the zoo. And across the street from a great hotel and restaurant. Lots to see and do. There is an entrance fee but if you read their website certain conditions can be met and you can get in for a discounted price or even for free. I've been here before and will come back again. I highly recommend this to anyone.

I had never been to a Fine Arts Museum and boy was it Fine! I really enjoyed myself and learned a lot about my culture and other historical art. It was a experience I will never forget!

Great van gogh limited time exhibit in summer of 2019

So much to see and marvel at that I couldn't see everything in one day. Making plans to return and considering membership for future visits!

Children's Museum is a great place to take your kids. They have a lot of hands on projects for kids and adults to enjoy.

All my favorite European Masters: Dali, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, and so many many more. Can't wait for the additional facilities. Already a world class museum...and will only get better!

Outstanding museum with solid exhibitions. If you want a relaxing weekend a stroll though MFA is a great place to start.

This is a good museum with interesting exhibits. Their permanent collection needs a major refresh though. The movie theater inside is a big plus

Always see something new. The museum also has new exhibits frequently and sometimes special events like van Gogh. Friendliest staff. Good little food court in the lower level. Can sometimes be hard to navigate is the only minor criticism. Thursday is also free!

This review is only for the Icons of Style exhibit, because I didn't spend much time in the rest of the museum, which I would love to go back and visit. I would highly recommend buying a ticket to the Icons of Style exhibit. They have a great complimentary audio tour to go with it and a fun, interactive photo option at the end.

They do not have a place for busses. They do not like the school bus but they love the money we bring them. A designated spot to park and a shuttle to where we dropped our students. Then back to retreave the bus when it is time to leave.

Amazing museum with an incredible collection of art from all time periods and locations.

Excellent exhibits, loved the Van Gogh special exhibit! Definitely worth seeing!

Egyptians should belong with the African art just saying. Other than that everything else was fine and cool. Cafe was overpriced though

For a special exhibition ticket you can view the whole permanent collection. It is a great deal and definitely worth coming back to see the temporary exhibitions
