MFAH Reviews

took baby eevie...had an all day adventure exploring the museum with a stroller and a baby bottle and our camera:)

The building are very interesting and they have alot of exhibits

I love art and this museum has all kinds of it. So much to see and awesome that it's free on Thursdays. Fun time to see all they have to offer and staff is really friendly and informative.

Absolutely astonishing ... amazing experience! Only spent 2 hours here rushing through, easily could have been here for 6+ hours

Need more space for the "Up Close" part of exhibit.

I have a very artful experience here. The staff and security guards were very knowledgeable and helpful. The best days to go are between Thursday and Sunday.

Just a comment, you need to put more information about the parking cause I lost 40 minutes trying to pay it

An enjoyable experience to attend an art exhibit at this fine institution.

Plenty to see and enjoy, between the more permanent exhibits and the always changing lives, to the cinema and other events.
This museum is awesome to doesn't time with friends and family.

One of my favorite museums in Houston. They re doing a lot of construction around the area, so it will probably look even nicer soon! With a membership you get free admission for the year and free tickets to exhibitions too, definitely worth the money even if you just go twice. Today we saw the bamboo exhibit and the India Jodhpur exhibit, must visit!

Really great place for a nice start to an evening date.

Wow! I took my teenager here and we both loved it! They have so many classical pieces as well as Jackson Pollock, Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe, Matisse, Mary Casat, and so many more! These are my people!!!! I absolutely loved it. Such an impressive collection. And there is so much that it is in 3 buildings. It's easy to get to each with the underground tunnels. I will definitely be going again. I highly recommend. It's a shame not to see the amazing art right here in Houston (especially if you live in the area). There's just something special about standing next to masterpieces...

It's one of my favorites museums in Houston, come early because it worth the time.

Went to see the Van Gogh exhibit. It was smaller than we expected and not a whole lot of his really famous peices but learned some new info. The hands on part was the kiddos favorite.

Nice place to visit if you are a arts student. The royals section was particularly very informative

Just simply beautiful. I really had a wonderful time with my girlfriend. Surprised myself how involved iwas. Thank you for the amazing experience. Staff excellent job.

Careful COVID protocols and interesting exhibits. It was a good visit to the museum.

Ron Mueck exhibition is on view at the MFAH until August 13, 2017. Museum membership is an excellent option if you live in the area. There is plenty of parking that is reasonably priced.

Great place to bring the family. Amazing works of art to look at and experience. Interactive exhibits for the kids. Friendly staff. Worth the money for the annual membership

Great place to be with art enthusiast from around the world

I went here on Saturning afternoon right after lunch time. It was empty during that time, but eventually started getting crowded. (Not too crowded though, which was good.)

I completely underestimated the colossal and immense scale of this museum. There are like two buildings that are connected with a tunnel with colorful lightning and each structure is three levels. Dozens of exhibit rooms and I almost got lost few times.

I think I spent several hours, at least 3~4hours to see the basic fundamental art, sculptures, and creations that I wanted to see, but this is going to take multiple visits if you really want to see everything.

I really enjoyed the several gold galleries or gold collections and I was always interested in bitcoin, the currency and gold. It helped me understand how gold was a global status symbol for multiple cultures throughout the world and how it was associated with wealth, youth (immortality), Gods, etc.

I also enjoyed the Treasuries of Spain section where I had to pay $4 more, but enjoyed it and picked up myself few gift items at the shop..

The big bamboo exhibit was a total hit with the kids.

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.

Very nice museum, although I had too little time to spend there.

Great museum. I am disappointed to lose the free parking across the street.

A world class museum
Exhibitions bringing everything from impressionists to royal portraits of Great Britain. You will want to see again and again. A permanent collection that is outstanding . A campus which is expanding and impressive. Events such as mixed media, which combines music cocktails and art. Concerts regular gallery talks.

Easy to navigate. Cafe with tasty food. Students get a discount. Neat, organized, and offers a variety on different art mediums.

By far the best and most diverse collection in Houston, and for that matter all of Texas. It's Impressionist and Renaissance art collections are impressive. The staff are helpful and the docents keep to themselves. It takes multiple trips to even scrape the top of the museum's permanent collection. The visiting exhibitions and collections are always interesting!

Lovely exhibits with beautiful artwork everywhere! The cafeteria's food is pretty good too.

Beautiful. Few like this Museum. Art from around the world

It's not NY or Chicago, but yet has a lot to offer. Exhibitions are great and it has a great atmosphere.

The wifey and I checked out the Van Gogh exhibit most recently. It was a hit! I wish they had more originals, and less replications. I imagine they did their best and it was more than good enough.
The interactive portion was fun for everything as well!
MFAH has been and will continue to be my go to for art museums in Houston.
I feel like I ve been through the tunnel more than the average bear for sure!

So many works by the Impressionists! One by Monet in Amsterdam; wow!

We really enjoyed the Van Gogh exhibit. There was a line to get in- we waited about an hour- but its to be expected on a sunday afternoon. Parking was easy with a tunnel from the garage on Binz to the museum. Nice attendants checking on people in line and available for questions. World class exhibit- Thank you MFAH.

Great exhibits, parking is a breeze with underground parking across the street

Absolutely amazing! Inspirational on many levels! If your an upcoming artist and know you have talent definitely pay it a visit!

Great museum but could use happier customer service

Well I figure the arts to be political driven hipsters and while yes they are there they usually not in the classical or romantic parts of the exhibits Wich gives you time to admire the views without worry there going to comment or attack you for your maga hat

Treasure trove of valuable art in the collection. What a great resource and gift to have here in Houston. Wish I hadn t waited so long to visit my first time.

I had such a lovely time visiting yesterday. It was well worth it.

Line for the Van Gogh exhibit was long, and was unable to upgrade to a premium ticket because I was getting General Admission via City Pass. However, all exhibits were well put-together and there was a great variety

I really liked the Oscar Dell Renta exhibit. The Michelangelo exhibit left something to be desired as it didn't contain much Michelangelo as much as it was art inspired by him.

- Admission is a reasonable $19 per adult, available on-site. I m forgetting children s admission prices and others.

- In order to safely remain open in light of COVID-19, all visitors will have their temperature checked prior to entering the museum. Face masks and social distancing are required. The temperature screening process is very straightforward and quick, and I found myself within the gallery areas in no time.

Huge space with lots of historical art. Staff helpful and friendly

There are so many great things to see especially in the tunnels. It just gives you that downtown houston feeling that you can't find anywhere else.

Beautiful facility with interesting exhibits from all over the world.

I love the different displays and genres. The gift shop is pretty cool too. Expensive but cool. If you go on Thursday admission is free. It excludes special exhibits, but it's free, in Houston, and the basic exhibits are very nice. Also, they have an art school upstairs. I hear it's very good.

I went to see the Van Gogh exhibit with a friend and it was FANTASTIC! We especially enjoyed the end portion where there was interactive exhibit of his art.

I love their film presentations. The museum is well organized and the staff are helpful. Lots of American artists on display.

Although slightly overpriced, the museum of fine arts houston is one of the best in the country. Check out the The Cloud Column across the street for a unique sculpture. In the summer there are plenty of parties with very unique exhibitions.

Great variety of exhibits from antiquity to modernism.

Secondary works by major artists, but very comprehensive coverage mid 19th to early 20th C. Cafe serves wine.

great place for families and companies to visit. it has awesome exhibits

Yes, visit the museum. Wander through the extensive collection and see what pulls you in.
