I’m here for a bit, not sure if I’ll have any free time but I love a good museum.

Any pro tips?

Thanks in advance

Menil collection

especially if you're a big robert rauschenburg fan like i am

eta this is hanging on the wall next to me as we speak



i know not everyone is a fan but i freaking love his Dante's Inferno collection. literally one of my all time favorite series of art.

you could stare at these for years and still see something new each time.

At the Museum of Triggering Reality, there is a nice exhibit on how Trump is the greatest president in the history of our republic. You should check it out.

All the museums are good -- Natural Science, MFAH, Holocaust.

Menil is awesome too and free admission.

As CAD said, def check out Menil collection.

The restaurant across the street is pretty good too if you are a wine guy (or woman).

Beautiful area and the surrounding areas are all owned by the foundation so it houses starving artists n such.

Natural Science dinosaur exhibit is actually one of the best in the entire U.S. Highly recommend if you have kids or are somewhat of a kid at heart.

Most museums are in the same area (museum district). You can take the rail there if nearby a stop.

Hermann Park is also cool to walk around that’s nearby. Stairs, reflecting pool, Japanese garden, jogging trails, and across the street from Rice which has a nice campus to walk through.

There is a Museum of Illusions Houston inside the Galleria mall that my family enjoyed. You will be required to purchase tickets online, and in a time slot.

Go have lunch at Candente (best Tex Mex in Houston) and try either the Natural Science or Fine Arts museum. Thank me later.
