The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston spreads its collections across an architectural campus in the Museum District.
Paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, and photography connect different regions and periods, while the Kinder Building adds a substantial setting for modern and contemporary work. Moving between buildings becomes part of the experience.
Allow several hours and select galleries that match your interests. Special exhibitions and house museums can have different arrangements from the main collection; check the museum's current visitor information before combining them in one itinerary.
