The Museum of Fine Arts

The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, one of the country's largest such organizations, houses a 6,000-year-old collection of American, European, African, and Far Eastern art.

Italian Renaissance and French Impressionist paintings, American and European decorative arts, a notable collection of African and pre-Columbian gold, and numerous fine sculptures are among the museum's more than 63,000 works. It is recommended that you take a tour of the museum if you are serious about learning about it. There are audio tours available, but you may also join up for gallery tours by museum educators. The Audrey Jones Beck Building and the Caroline Wiess Law Building are the two buildings that make up the complex's main campus. You may access any of them from the street, but Wilson Tunnel, which is an attraction in itself, connects them underneath. The Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, nestled away in the River Oaks suburbs and home to a large collection of decorative arts, paintings, and furniture, is another gallery worth seeing at the Museum of Fine Arts.
