This museum is very large with 3 different buildings along with an outdoor sculpture garden. There are two separate parking garages along with some limited street parking. Their permanent collections are very versatile and well arranged. They have frequent special exhibits from around the world for an additional ticket price.

Coming from LA, I have high expectations for museums. This has to be one of my favorites. There were several diff rooms and floors from different eras and covered a wide variety of different types of art. We spent a couple hours here and really enjoyed it. Very clean and quiet. Would def recommend if visiting the area!

We went twice while we visited. The artifacts are in great shape and they have a little of every culture. It was pretty cool to see all of it under one roof. I also have an exhibit you can climb for $25.

I havent had so much fun- AT an art museum!Of course I went a teenager, so fun is a must, thus MFA really delivered. If you are looking for a great place to reconnect with a loved one this is a great choice. Only thing is you will spend at least $55 including parking.

Amazing collection of the finest art. Breath taking and exquisitely displayed

Great experience, I will be back next time I visit Houston! Could have spend all day here. You can get through the museum in about 3 hours but I recommend longer. Parking is a issue so we took a uber, otherwise a perfect place to bring your older kids!

Great experience! Ernesto Neto exhibit was definitely interesting & fun for all ages.The expansion was incredible.Plenty of social distancing & plan an entire day.

The museum has two buildings: the Beck and the Contemporary. There’s a wonderful sculpture garden and cafe next to the contemporary. Great museum.

Fantastic! i love every visit here. we have been coming here for what feels like forever. the art exhibits are always so eye grabbing and fun. there’s so much learned in every visit.one of my favorite things is the tunnels from building to building. the lights make you feel like you’re escaping reality. beautiful.

Went for the Ernseto exhibit and it was great! The princess had fun in the hanging maze and we enjoyed some art as well! Staff was very friendly as well.

I went on a Thursday when general admission was free. This place was amazing. I did not realize they have so much good stuff. Even if you live in Houston, it is fun to be a tourist in your own town. Go check it out!

We really enjoyed our visit to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The museum is easy to get to and there are several parking garages in easy walking distance. We went on free Thursday, and paid the additional fee to see the Van Gogh - Hockney exhibit. There are a lot of things to look at and we explored through the tunnel to get to the Contemporary Art Museum, (included in the admission), where even the bathrooms are works of design.Theres a lot of walking and stairs, wear your comfy shoes. Budget the whole day to maximize seeing the whole museum. There are some nice restaurant choices an easy walk from the museum.

Amazing, the new buildings and exhibits inside and out are out of this world......Including the bronze lake...

I wanted to see and enjoy the Ernesto Neto maze and it was fun.What I like about the museum is that if you pay for an special exhibit, it covers all the other regular exhibits; no need to pay double and kids under 12 are free.My daughter, 11, really enjoyed looking at all the paintings, sculptures and jewelry and going through the tunnels to go to the other buildings.

The museum is fantastic, it has an extensive collection. Be sure to take a full day or more to watch it. It has very photogenic tunnels that connect the different buildings.

Its amazing museum . Wonderful location . There are different area, location and beautiful different arts.

It’s a really great museum and fantastic exhibition “Monet to Matisse: Impressionism to Modernism from the Bemberg Foundation “👍🏻

A huge collection of amazing artCons:needs more audio guidance so you can look and listenNeeds small movie theater so you can comfortably sit and listen so we can get break and get educated

Loved it!!!Took my little 13y old artist to see Hockney-Van Gogh exhibit. We had a great time. Hockneys paintings were beautiful and vibrant. Amazing to see nature through someone elses eyes and in so many different ways. If you have an eye for art, its a must see. Exhibit runs through June 20, 2021.

Absolutely amazing. I love art and going to mfa really helps me satisfy the creative side I have and inspires me. The facility is clean and tidy. We came to see the Ernesto Neto exhibit which was stunning and amazing! You got to interact with this piece which was great. The contemporary part of the museum was unique and I found that the new building with the cafe was modern and pleasant to be in. The garage parking snd underground tunnel was also great to be in. Great time for dates and those who enjoy art! Something for everyone. The cafe was nice and the food smelled delicious!

Beautiful building! Being in front of paintings by Monet, Van Gogh and Cezzanne is always a memorable experience...

This is the best art museum that I’ve been to! The place is huge and has a lot of artwork from famous artists. On Thursdays, they have free general admission so try to go on a Thursday. They were also having a Van Gogh exhibit today. Also mask use is required and they will check your temperature before you go in.

It was Great!. We could spend all day in and never end.

One can never see enough arts, beautifully crafted stories.

Interesting place! They have some really amazing art installations and exhibitions.

I absolutely enjoyed this experience! It was so exciting looking at all the many different styles of art. Mind blowing to witness true ancient history. The stories and uniqueness of each artist were displayed in creative ways. I didn’t know where to look first, my eyes were overwhelmed with beauty. Definitely something worthy of experiencing. I will say I probably appreciate it more that I ever would have before now. With age comes wisdom! 😊 So they say… ♥️

It was more fun than I thought it would be.

Great collection, meticulously curated. A must on Thursdays (free entrance). I particularly loved the impressionism section

Great experience, would definitely come back because they change it all the time. The only thing though, was that you had to pay extra for some of the exhibits.

If you like museums and you like art well here you go. There are so many amazing pictures to look about,statues, all sorts of art treasures; and it has grown. I went the other day and the newer part thats underground it was just amazing. Museums are awesome and this is the one if you ever come to Houston just go they have free days on Thursdays and its always a treat and be sure to stop by the gift shop.

Enough can’t be said and enough can’t be seen in this wonderful treasure of a place in the heart of Houston.A rich collection of art work exhibited with so much details, oozing information and knowledge. Enticing artists, historians, architects, and exhibitors alike.

I loved it! The place was really well put together and all of the exhibits were so beautiful and informative. I didnt get to look at every exhibit because its such a large place but I will come back!

Upon arrival, we had no clue that there were 3 separate buildings filled with art! There is so much to see that I would need a full week to appreciate all of it! The Van Gogh exhibit costs a bit extra, but I’m glad we got to see some of his pieces even though the exhibit itself is mainly Hockney and not Van Gogh. Parking was a bit tricky, but we found a cheaper lot that was only a couple blocks away. All in all, if you’re visiting Houston, you have to come here!

So amazing! General admissiom gets you a lot.

I loved this museum!🖼️🎨Here was my first time where I could appreciate original Van Goghs paints and drafts. (It was a temporary exhibition, the cost was $25 per person but I had access to see more exhibitions).About the place is a big building and inside is super clean, you can find diverse painting art themes and sculptures. You can appreciate art of different times there.You can to take photos, and you can use your phone and captured a QR code for to listen a better art explanations.Sí hablas español hay información en el idioma también ☺️You have to pay for an entrance, there are a parking lot and has a cost I paid $10 for 4 hours.The staff is very friendly, inside are a souvenir shop and coffee shop.

We absolutely love art of art and because of that we love museums featuring art hence the museum of fine art in Houston. Like some people keep track of all the ballparks theyve been to we like to keep track of all the museums of art that weve been to. We visited today because of a special exhibition that has never been shown anywhere else in the United States it was certainly worth our time and because we could Select the time of our visit and register online the exhibit was never ever really crowded they were able to completely control how many people were inside watching looking at all of the beautiful piece is at 1 time its a lovely museum in a lovely part of of Houston so when youre in town next time check out the museum of fine art I dont think youll be sorry.

One of the best if not the best museum in Houston!The curation is impecable… you can find all type of art since classical as Greek, Egyptian, Renaissance to modern Rothko, Miro… to contemporary James Turell, Cuz diez.A very complete museum.Pro tip: you can enter and go out as many times during the day as you like, so profit from that and take a break though the museum, you’ll need to rest your eyes to enjoy more.The Van Gogh/ Hockney exhibit is amazing!If you’re looking for a cultural day in Houston, go to this museum.

Mind-blowingly beautiful art

This is an excellent art museum to visit! There are so many boring museums with large spaces and very little art. This one is different! There are 3 buildings of art. What I liked about it is how diverse and rich their collections are! French art, islamic art, surrealism, academic painting, 19th century, and contemporary art. Really a lot to see and get inspired by!

So much to see and the staff is so helpful if you are searching for a particular piece.

We enjoyed the impressionist installation. The new tunnel from parking lot to museum was fine but I wanted to walk through the sculpture garden. We were directed to the tunnel when we tried to exit to the garden. After the exhibit we made our escape outside and around the building to the new museum and the garden without the interference of directions. Lovely to see it finally completed. Sometimes people actually know what they want to do.

Great museum with 3 seperate buildings and underground tunnels connecting them, themselves art pieces. Regular new exhibits and a great number of breathtaking works. Im particularly fond of the new modern art building; my grandmother and I looked at just about everything in it, one by one (and it took quite a while with the size of the place and the sheer amount of art theyve amassed!) Definite recommend.

Unfortunately I was able to spend only four hours in there. So I could visit their main campus only. It has great collection of ancient art. I liked very much their impressionism and postimpressionism collection. The only one disturbing thing there was the light. I had a strong feeling it was set up wrong way. It could be subjective though. The exhibitions of Indian, Indonesian, Mexican and South American ancient masterpieces were incredible. Great exhibition of Islamic art.

Visited this museum three weeks ago.Good collection of art, particularly impressed with their modern art exhibits.Allow a full day if you’re into art, there’s a lot to see.

Amazing collection of art!! Historic & contemporary art, dont miss the color changing tunnel below.

Love this museum. Disclaimer - I am no art critic or by any means an aficionado, but to me they have a great variety here, full of beautiful pieces, including a Van Gogh and some Monet on permanent display. The museum is always neat, clean, and beautiful. Great way to spend an afternoon. I would give yourself at least 2 hours here. Be sure to take advance of the underground tunnels to travel between buildings.

The way they set up this museum is beautiful and easy to navigate. The different colored rooms set the tone and mood for each selection of excellent artwork! Had a wonderful time wandering here and would be happy to return again!

Amazing masterpieces from around the world with great temporary exhibits.

Beautiful museums. Great experience.

Love the museum! The art looks is amazing!

Great museum. Wonderful collections. Spent 4-hours and still have much to see. Looking forward to seeing more of their art.

Honestly loved it. Its about 3-5 floors. Thursdays are free. Very peaceful and they follow covid procedures very well. Parking is free the first 30 min. Afterwards is $10. You get your temperature taken when you enter. They give you a map. Worth the visit :)

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..

I really enjoyed visiting on a free day. The website says to give yourself about an hour to go through. I took more than double that time, maybe even triple that time. There is so much to see, consider, explore, and learn here. I really enjoyed the experience.

Nice and friendly staff. Impressed by the amount of Christian collections in this museum.

The best place in Houston to experience art in many different forms.

My children enjoyed themselves.

A lot of walking 3 buildings. Walkway under the street. A lot of contemporary art which I dislike.

Awesome day spent at the museum! So much to see and appreciate.

Went to see the exhibit Monet to Matisse which was spectacular. It was not what I expected but boy did I learn a lot about the various schools of impressions. Very worthwhile attending. We found parking very convenient but getting to floor 3B was a bit of a challenge.

Beautiful museum with two floors of great art. You can spend better part of a day here. Went to see the Hockney-Van Gogh exhibit. If you want to see some really cool Van Gogh paintings, this is your chance before exhibit leaves US. Hockney work initially seemed undertoned, but as you progress through the exhibit you are awestruck at some really bright colors. His charcoal work is so fine, as well as ipad work. Very cool.

Beautiful art, paintings, busts, sarcophagus, etc. Pleasing to the eye.

I have visited 2 exhibitions here. Both were interesting and well-done. The staff is friendly and helpful. Very nice atmosphere.

Wow, so many building so many floors. Bring your walking shoes. Something for everyone.

Ive been visiting for about 25 years and love it each time as much as the last. Great art and atmospheres. They always have something new and worth while.

This museum had grown so much! We went to a few special exhibits & they are always fabulous and enlightening. The permanent collection is extensive. I must get a membership & go more often!

I’m not much into art or museums. However attending the Museum of Fine arts Houston was great. I was baffled by the great art and so much of it. It’s a huge museum and has so much good art. I highly recommend to anyone looking for great artwork by well known artist or to anyone looking to pass some time. It’s well worth it.

There is so much to see, plan on more than a single day if you really want to get a full experience.

The new addition to the MFAH is extraordinary. The space, the art, the complexity, the design, and even better it is located in the heart of Houston. Featuring artists like Rothko and Picasso and visual experiences by James Turrell this place is a must see!!

Awesome place to spend a Sunday...

We went in June and are a bit delayed in writing a review as we had to start a new account. This was such an incredible experience and we are getting a membership as a result. Thank you for providing such a wonderful opportunity to see the art of our world.

Very interesting and educational exhibit

The museum is free. Which in my opinion was great. The museum is actually very large and had some very cool and unique features.

Overall, any afternoon at MFAH is an afternoon well spent. They also feature art house cinema as well. A constantly changing roster of interesting famous and some not so famous films with great cinematic merit.

Nice experience. Variety of art styles. My 8-year-old makes chair shapes out of paper these days (nothing but folding it thrice 2 times) and when we were going in he says are chairs art? My immediate response was chairs are just chairs you sit on them, then I changed it to yes, sometimes chairs have cool designs and those designs is what art is. And whaddya know, we go into the exhibit and there are chairs upon chairs from hundreds of years ago with different shapes, sizes and design.

Great Houston treasure! Especially with new addition they have! Love their free Thursdays till 9 pm!

This institution has been my oasis of calm and culture for many years. They have honored diversity in their exhibits and it is inspiring.

Very nice exhibitions with a lot of space to move around and view. Very professional staff Notably Rebecca was very helpful with my queries about the place.

Great exhibits and really fun experience! Would recommend to friends. They also have a restaurant inside, which has good food.

An absolutely amazing art museum with so much variety

A favorite place of ours! We visited Saturday to view the exhibit Monet to Matisse...Impressionism to ModernismIts a beautiful collection and we discovered artists we fell in love with that previously we were not aware of.It us a leisurely and calming way to spend an afternoon. Go soon as the exhibiends September 19.Enjiy!

Went to see exhibition called Soul Of A Nation. It was laid out beautifully. Very informative, provocative and interesting to view. Staff greeted us upon entering. Policies in place due to covid-19 such as mandatory masks and temperature checks. I bought our tickets online which was suggested. All in all still a great experience. Go to the museum!

The must see museum during Houston visit.We spent more than 5 hours here. Definitely back next time

Nice experience. We really enjoyed our visit to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The museum is easy to get to and there are several parking garages in easy walking distance.

Of course art beautiful. Some security not trained well. Oh btw, dont bring a backpack! Service dog, I cant tell. Never got a correct response.

The top dog here in Houston when it comes to fine art. I enjoyed the fashion photography exhibit and the impressionists. My favorite you ask? Matisse! This is an extensive and significant art collection and a great way to stay cool in the summertime. Also, very good restaurant!

I spent 1.5 hours at this museum. They have quite the collection of jewelry and gold from all over the world. Parking is a pain so I went to this and the Museum of Natural Sciences one right after the other. Their cafe is closed due to COVID. Make sure you take a map or you might miss some of the exhibits. I couldnt bring the map up through their website. I would say their collection is comparable to the Arts Museum in San Antonio, but the one in Dallas is a lot more impressive. All the fancy jewelry at this museum makes it worth it though.

Great place to get out and experience different views of what history and life have to offer.

You can enjoy art outdoors, too.

The Houston Museum of Fine Arts is a site to behold. Spread across two sprawling buildings and showcasing hundreds of artworks from ancient civilizations to modern artists, everything is curated and beautifully displayed. The museum has wonderful artifacts from Asian countries and a massive collection of gold artworks. The Japanese permanent collection is beautiful, with lots of information on the production of the old watercolors. There’s too much to write about but it’s a museum worth seeing and spending hours in. The cafe was delicious and we didn’t wait very long at all for our food.

Beautiful Museum with very nice and helpful staff. If you like art and/or history you would love it.

This review is only for the Icons of Style exhibit, because I didnt 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.

Spent 3 hours with my granddaughter there exploring the main galleries but also the special Norman Rockwell exhibit. A lovely day. Being a member got us free admission to everything and a discount on the covered parking garage.

Fun, entertaining, and enrichining. Great place to spend a day just feeding your mind.

Fantastic museum with a lot of interesting artifacts from all over the world, between a few centuries old to contemporary and modern art. Every level of the museum is entertaining and has value for money. They also have a movie theater and a special section for Van Gogh right now. Go check em out!

Beautiful art, constantly changing exhibits, and free on Thursdays! Awesome family trip!

Hey its art. Big place though. Bring water and stamina.

Always a unique and interesting experience. Been a member for 20 years and it just keeps getting better!

The Museum of Fine Arts is a top notch classical art museum, with a strong collection covering quite well all eras and areas. Together with the nearby Museum of Natural Science, this is the centerpiece of the Houston Museum district. The building itself is also a piece of architectural art and the cafe is quite well renowned for its excellent food. In recent years, their van Gogh special exhibition was very well received, but the permanent collection is also highly worthwhile.

This museum has it all from sculptures, to classic and modern art. The Kinder building of contemporary arts is a sight to see. For the most part everyone is friendly and helpful *might want to check on the lady helping people at the entrance of the Kinder building today, rude and it was like pulling teeth in order to get clear directions to the other parking garage. Sculpture garden is also very beautiful and the James Turrell: The Light Inside is always fun.
