Interesting exhibits. I went with my nephew's. The workers the are really intense! The secret service was more relaxed than these guys. Do even not look like you want to touch anything. They go still to crack down in seconds.
I love The Menil Collection. It's probably my favorite gallery in Houston, even better than MFAH. It's always free and open to the public, although donations are appreciated. They have a nice collection that is substantial but not overwhelmingly huge. The focus is primarily on contemporary, modern, and surrealist art. You'll find works by Ernst, Miro, Picasso, Pollock, Rothko, etc. Best of all is an entire room of Magritte paintings, and a surrealist room full of wondrous and sometimes creepy artifacts. Also, when you go to The Menil, you might as well visit Rothko Chapel just down the street.
What a great anchor this great museum is for the neighborhood. I haven't really seen this occur before where the museum is the energy and pulse of the area. Really well done. Exhibit s are always fresh and amazingly well currated.
Beautiful space. Interesting installations. I'm not claiming to know a lot about how art is qualified to be put in a museum. Security in every room, so be sure to not breathe too hard or wave hands around or point directly at the art. Would be helpful if there were more docents in lieu of security.
They have a fantastic series of collections! For free!! They temporarily exhibit a few modern artists, and have several permanent collections. You can see everything from ancient Greece to surrealism in one day here. My favorite museum in Houston. And it's free all the time, every day.
