MFAH Reviews

Love this place, the setup is quite navigable and the flow though to different gallerries is easy. I throughtly enjoyed their collection

Beautiful museum. I truly enjoyed it, especially the sculptures. Definitely recommend to come for a visit. We came on a Thursday, free admission, it wasnt packed at all.

One of the most beautiful and entertaining museums around. If you are interested in art in any shape or form definitely plan a minimum 3 hours visit here.

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.

Excellent. Good works of art Van Gogh exhibition very good.

Love the food trucks (especially OffBeat Eatz!). Staff are always nice and very accommodating

Disappointed in Michelangelo exibit. Very little of his artwork. Mostly his contemporaries.

This is really great for the kids. My son had a awesome time at the museum... Learning new cultures and how things were in the 1900's....

Different exhibitions for different kind of people. You can be there a little time or the whole day. It's great you have a free day - Thursdays. Enjoyed my visit!

This museum was great all the the wonderful art work I loved all the works from all the people of color also enjoyed all the work of van Gogh hope to visit again soon and they give military discounts which is great

I was extremely impressed with this collection.. I wished I had more time experience it ...I will revisit my next time in Houston.

Love it. I've been a member since moving to Houston in mid-2008 and have seen some incredible exhibitions. They have some good deals like discounts in the shop for members, as well as discounted parking and cheaper movie tickets. Worth regular visits to discover both the standing exhibition as well as the special displays. Membership is well worth the money.

Special exhibits are a great value and rotated 4-6 times per year.

Amazing museum, walking access and many incredible art pieces !

Very nice place ! Yesterday was my first time there it was cool i like it alot.!

I loved it! My first time ever here. I found it interesting that they had reproduction pieces but I was glad to see they actually had some original work to enjoy.
I like the fact that you can have those little things to tell you about the art works but geez! Too much taking for me....slow at that. I tried using the thing but I enjoyed reading the information provided instead.
I saw many people taking pictures! I was too busy enjoying the art to take a picture of the art.

Wonderful Museum with lots of work on display. We spent about 3 hours here.

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.

Great place! I love coming here. Van Gogh exhibit was very, very crowded though.

nice place, important cultural ecxivisions nice place to enjoy it

World class museum. We visited it at the same time as a remarkable temporary exhibition Rohtko. We did not expect to find in Houston such a beautiful and rich collection, beautifully presented. The MFAH is worth the trip!

Thursday is free all day! It's like $10 for parking, great way to spend the day with the whole fam

The museum has quite a few interesting pieces to see, but I didn't quite feel it was worth the price. I strongly advise going on a Thursday when it's free. There also were nowhere as many things to see as I had thought there would be.

Beautiful museum with a variety of exhibits. Definitely recommend getting the membership.

Not the best, lose yourself in many historical images and artefacts

Love. Great permanent exhibits and travelling ones.

The place is soooo huge. 1 day is not enough to see everything. Clean and organized. The staff are very very courteous.

The museum is very large and has multiple exhibits covering every genre. The only reason I took one star away is because it isn't very wheelchair accessible. The entrance to one of the buildings has stairs just inside and the solution is to go to the other building and use the elevator to cross over. But as far as the art, this place is beautiful.

Nicely laid out, expensive and there is a wait for the Van Gogh exhibit but it moves quickly..

Good exhibitions of Asian,African and South American art and artifacts.

A must see. Thursdays are free and open late till 9. Have a great collection.

It seems that 99% of everything is locked in the museum vault.

This is a huge museum and I like that they do let people in for free on Thursday. They bring in shows from different artists and eras frequently. I don't know that you can find another museum that has a wider variety of work and collections to view outside of going to the Smithsonian museums. The staff here makes sure you can find your way around and if you engage with the security folks, they are very informative. This place has a huge collection of work that is constantly rotating. Some very well known artist's work hang in these halls. It is well worth spending a day here. They also have a happy hour in their bar, which is fun too.

Great exhibitions, plus the Museum cafe is also great .

We came all the way to Houston to see the Van Gogh exhibit. We will have to come back another day because the line was down the street and out the door. Wow! We had already waited about 30 min to purchase our tickets. They didn't tell us where to go, and when we finally found the exhibit the lady laughed at us and told us we'd have to get at the back of the line that looked hours long. We will just come back but earlier in the day.

A fun activity to do around town. Admission to the museum are free every Thursday. I have been here a few times for school and on my own. They have wide selection of artwork on display and it is always changing. There are also special exhibits for a limited amount of time.

Definitely recommend if you have a guest out-of-town who loves art. The museum is quiet and relaxing. You can spend a good 30 minute to an hour here. In addition, this area is filled with other activities you can do to explore downtown Houston and everything is within walking distance.

Large museum with a world class collection. There are multiple buildings with tunnels, stairs and escalators connecting some of them. This building system could use a better map or visitor guide. Still, don't hesitate to visit.

Great museum with pieces regularly being rotated and lots of special exhibits and events.

Excellent attention, its staff is very attentive always attentive to everything, the food is good and the products are fresh, you feel when you taste it, and the price is to indulge yourself on a weekend with the family, thank you

My husband, daughter and I visited Michelangelo and The Vatican last weekend. We were disappointed; we do not believe there were enough Michelangelo paintings in this exhibit.

You can find all kinds of pieces of art from all over the world.
It's a wonderful experience.
You will need more than one day to enjoy it!

I love the Fine Arts Museum of Houston. There are some great permanent exhibits, and there are always fantastic traveling exhibits. One can spend days in the museum and not truly take it all in.

I have visited here for a couple of times. Last was during the Van Gogh exhibition and it really worth it.

Loved it! The Van Gogh exhibit was incredible. Highly recommend it!

This is one awesome museum. Periodically they have top notch exhibits.

Great place to see ancient to modern era art. Friendly people and staff guides. Felt very relaxing.

This is a great place to visit in Houston. My husband and I came for the Van Gogh exhibit and really enjoyed it, although our favorite parts were the African and South American. It's in a great area with fairly easy parking. We also had a quick walk through the sculpture garden, which was nice as well.

A must see! Went to see the Mexican art revolution and ended up seeing two other exhibitions and to top it off they were all free! It was amazing!

Wonderful Museum, Van Gogh exhibit until June 27, 2019.

There is a special exhibition of [Van Gogh], which introduces Van Gogh's life and his paintings in great detail. It is worth visiting!

Attended for Van Gogh exhibit which was Amazing and well done, then wandered the other floors. Total exhibit time- about 2 1/2 hours. Ate in the cafe- pricey and a long wait but good food. Parking can be a challenge. Print the map and have options available if nearest lots are full.

I loved. Friendly staff, WiFi, aa, clean bathrooms. Permanent exhibitions. Map of the place. Rest places.

One of my favorite places to visit. Very clean well staffed, and exceptional exhibits.

This was the first time I visited this Museum, specifically for the Van Gogh exhibit. It was a fairly seamless process parking, and purchasing admission tickets. The exhibition was laid out very nicely - there were quite a few people, but it did not feel overly crowded. I enjoyed the audio tour that came with the admission ticket. I feel that it added more depth than what was displayed on the walls. The only regret I have is not having more time to look at the other exhibits. I did wonder into a few other areas with abstract paintings and another with marble sculptures. The variety of exhibits that this Museum holds will surely keep me coming back for more!

The museum is a wonderful experience for visitors & locals . Don't miss the chance to see every artist interpretation.

Spend the day at the newsstand Museum lovely Place beautiful not much more to say you'll love it
