Museum Of Fine Arts, Houston All Access Admission Ticket

On an open day in Houston head down to the Arts District and visit this wonderful art museum. As this was a Thursday afternoon my ticket was free! This museum has wonderful pieces and there’s so much to see. I would say you’d need a good five hours or so to see everything. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re an art lover.

Museum was such an amazing experience. Definitely worth visiting with friends or just at a solo tour.

Nice museum, clean and well organized. Interesting expositions.

Lots to see. More than I can handle. Great Sr. Rate! Approximately 3 hours Love the Picasso - Matisse exhibit

It was an Amazing afternoon of culture for our teen grandest. Great value.

It was over the top excellent. There attendants in every section very knowledgeable nice and engaging

Allow plenty of time to soak up the well curated exhibit. And, if you're lucky enough to get a reservation at Le Jardinairre, enjoy a sumptuous meal.

I enjoyed the beautiful artwork and the special exhibitions. We also attended an amazing poetry jam by high school students.

I visited the Museum of Fine Arts while in the area at Hermann Park as I had never been before and the collection looked interesting from what I could read about it. The museum is split into three buildings: the Kinder Building houses Modern and Contemporary Art, the Law Building contains Global Art, and American and European galleries are in Beck with all three connected via a tunnel at the lower level. The size of the galleries really depends on the region. The Islamic art collection, particularly from Iran and the Levant is solid and other collections of notable size include the Indigenous Americas and Africa galleries. Some of the other galleries, most notably the Japanese and Chinese galleries are quite small in comparison to comparable museums. Admission prices aren't too steep and the gallery isn't very crowded so if you have some time it's worth checking out, particularly if you have an interest in works from the regions that contain the larger collections.

Parking is very expensive. The price of admission generously covers the Glassell School of Art, Sculpture Garden, Kinder Building, Law Building and Beck Building.

It was a lovely experience. I hadn't been back and some time and was surprised and pleased with the new additions. I love how they've incorporated couture dressed into the exhibits. The arrangements are beautiful.

it's free admission to the permanent collection every Thursday, so we went there during the free admission time, although admission if free on Thursday, you still need to pay the parking which was $10 at the time we went there. It's just like an ordinary museum, showing the art of different regions, e.g. Egypt, Greece, etc. also has some modern art, but there is a room with lights hanging in a mirror room which is beautiful, but you need to line up and wait to enter that room, but worth to go in.

My wife and I have been Houston Museum of Fine Arts members for two years. Membership, has been one of our best decisions. Having access to high-quality interesting museum-offerings is important to us. Last month we attended the complimentary Friday night happy hour + Jazz concert + access to the Tamara Lempicka exhibit. Ours, was a wonderful evening in the most perfect setting. Every aspect of our evening at the museum was enjoyable. The jazz concert and museum exhibition, were stellar. Afterwards, learning how much my wife had enjoyed our evening together, has inspired me to soon plan another museum event.

So worth the visit. A must do if in Houston. Great variety of exhibitions and so well curated. Put it on the list for your visit.

The Museum of Fine Arts Houston was fantastic and very easy to get around, and the art exhibits were excellent, parking was very easy

I cannot build much on the stellar reviews that this world class Museum offers. But I will say that you need to allocate a full day to visit all three buildings and take in the special exhibits. Plus we ran into the most helpful and involved group of guards protecting the collection.

I go to art museums in pretty much any city/country i visit and I can say this place is absolutely massive. Unless you are there for a specific exhibit or collection, you definitely need to dedicate a half day at least.

It was an amazing museum, I learned something and saw some history of an ancient warrior and good memories in future

Great experience! I would use Viator in any suitable situation I can. I’ll mention it to all my friends

Off the charts amazing museum. Showed up on free day unexpectedly. But it would have been worth the ticket price for sure. Enormous museum with a huge variety of art. Friendliest staff you'll find it any museum. Tunnels connecting three different museum buildings are also part of the museum.

The Houston Museum of Fine Arts is one of the better big-city art museums. I always enjoy a visit. Unfortunately, the hours are horrible unless you can visit Thursday and Friday when the museum stays open to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday hours are awful and the museum is closed Monday and Tuesday. The museum should be open 10 am to 7 pm Sunday-Thursday and 10 am to 10 pm Friday-Saturday. Admission is expensive and is only good for that day. So if you visit at 4 pm on a Wednesday you can't return Thursday morning with the same ticket. You also don't get a discount at the restaurant for having purchased a museum ticket.

We spent a night outside of Houston before a graduation ceremony in College Station and really enjoyed our recent trip to the Museum! Parking in the garage was easy and it linked to the museum complex through indoor passages. The museum was a nice size, and we happened to be there on Thursday, when it was open late and was free —which was much appreciated after the fairly high entrance fee at the Johnson Space Center. It was nice to see many young people there enjoying the museums, too. The employees were all very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend a visit here! We also visited the contemporary art building. I like to visit museums whenever I travel and this was really nice.

The museum is located downtown Houston in the Museum District. Good parking options are available within a short walking distance. We visited on a Thursday, where admission to the collections is free. The museum is situated in several buildings and the collections are substantial, so it is possible to spend several hours here. We enjoyed our visit very much and would definitely recommend a visit here.

did we have to have the anachronistic super-chunky terrazzo floor? it works well with Gyula Kosice's hydrospatial city because it looks like a background of space objects but otherwise is just busy. the terrible lighting of Zanele Muholi's portrait is a great disservice to the striking and mesmerizing piece - destroys the entire contrast effect.

We visited the new Kinder building at MFAH today! What a great experience. I visited with my two daughters; one was visiting from overseas. The desk off of parking was closed, so we entered through the other building and crossed the Turrell bridge into the main (older) part of the museum and then low and behold there is a really cool “rainbow” tunnel that takes you into the new Kinder building. A description from the MFAH website: The Nancy and Rich Kinder Building contains both departmental and cross-departmental galleries. This approach will allow visitors to not only delve into the materials, geographies, and art forms in which modern and contemporary art have developed, but also to explore the ways in which varied artistic ideas, styles, and themes have transcended those boundaries. The multiple stories of modern and contemporary art-making are articulated throughout the building. What a wonderful space! We were drawn from this area into a light are installment to the left & did not realize we needed to take elevators up to 3 more floors of the Kinder building. The place is huge and filled with fantastic artwork, photography and contemporary pieces. It was a magical mystery art tour. Each section was a wonderful discovery. Totally worth the price of general admission that includes the new building. Masks are required at this time due to Covid. There is a temperature check upon entry. You may purchase in advance; we were walk ins. Hand sanitizer provided throughout. Unfortunately a few sections of the new area; most notably the Infinity Light Room by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, were closed because of Covid. We were able to see a new Turrell installment. I was having some back issues and therefore rather than take the escalator in the main building or the stairs in the Kinder, we used the elevators. May not have been the best choice in Covid times, but they were large and we had them all to ourselves. This is the second time we have visited MFAH since Covid became an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to see this fantastic new building and felt that all the necessary precautions were taken to make it as safe as possible. Afterward we walked through the outdoor sculpture garden.

Much anticipated tour of the new Kinder building of the Museum of Fine Art Houston. It was billed as the new extension that would allow a greater number of in-storage works (MFAH has works by Wyeths that hardly ever see the light of day) to finally be put on display. The space was IMPRESSIVE...a GREAT addition to the complex...but the art. Oh, don't get me wrong, there are Dalis, Picassos, Pollocks, Warhols represented...but there's also an over abundance of what looks more like "found" art than art. Oh don't be a prude...I'm well aware of the semantics of the "meaning" of "art" ...but honestly. There's a friggin' Contemporary Arts Museum RIGHT NEXT DOOR for crimey's sake. I don't like having someone say, hey, come look at all our Fine Art...and it winds up being string, wires, bricks and tubs full of water...don't pi$$ down my neck and tell me it's raining. HOPEFULLY after MFAH has their galas and get their press, they'll revert back to displaying the MASSIVE COLLECTION OF FINE ART THEY POSSESS. Love the building, but whomever decided to fill the space with that "art" really dropped the ball...HEY, that could be a piece I create and sell to MFAH..."Dropped the ball" ca. 2020...choice.

I was pleasantly surprised at how big this museum was an how diverse its holding were. While it doesn't necessarily have the biggest names in art, the art on display is really quite beautiful. It wasn't crowded when we went at all and was really an enjoyable experience overall.

Like many metropolitan at museums the MFAH has a fine permanent collection. What drew us in were the temporary exhibitions which cover a wide variety of interests. If you live in the area and plan on multiple visits a season pass is well worth it as it provides discounted parking and free/reduced rates for special exhibits and films. Our pass paid for itself after our first visiting exhibition.

This is a very interesting museum. I was here with my daughter and had a very good time enjoying their exhibits.

Great way to spend a few hours. Reasonable admission. The permanent collection is great and varied. Plenty to keep adults and kids entertained. Events every weekend for kids. Easy access to parking near-by. Beautiful area with parks and other attractions within walking distance. This museum has amazing temporary exhibits (Van Gogh, Rockwell, etc.) --- always check the museum's calendar to see what is scheduled. Definitely worth the time.

The MFA is a fine museum with a variety of artwork and sculpture to satisfy anyone’s taste. The collections are well-organized and the signage for individual paintings and other art objects is almost uniformly excellent. The food served at the cafeteria is very good by museum standards. All in all this is a great way to spend a day or more in Houston. The only downside is a major safety flaw. The two museum buildings are connected by an underground tunnel. The tunnel is dark. Patrons must use a raised walkway about 10 feet wide, also very dark. There is a substantial risk if you don’t pay close attention of falling offthe walkway, which has no railings, to the tunnel floor about 8 inches below. This is not a theoretical problem; we saw a woman near us trip and fall off the walkway and land on her face! The system is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen but in the meantime be very careful in the tunnel and watch any accompanying children carefully.

What an opportunity this was to see the layout of the building and to enjoy the various galleries. The Rockwell Exhibition showing of the Four Freedoms was incredible.There was a lot of his art some of which I had never seen before. It covered his early years and his techniques. There were other paintings by various illustrators and the time period covered the Vietnam era and the moon walk. I would love to go back and spend more time seeing their other collections.

We visited here over Thanksgiving weekend, utilizing their adjacent parking garage (prorated charge, thankfully). We spent three solid hours here enjoying the various galleries. My favorite exhibits by far were the Africa and Indonesian Gold collections—a huge display of beautiful jewelry, decorative items, ritual pieces, etc. (I never knew those cultures had so much gold in their possession.) The collections of Asian art on display here were smaller than some we’ve seen at other museums, but the gold exhibits made up for that for me. Overall, there is a nice variety here. We had lunch in their spacious café and found the food to be tasty.

The museum is large, spread out over two buildings. The free exhibitions were well presented in large spaces, and very interesting, especially the Beatrice Gonzales exhibition. We would have been interested in viewing the paid exhibitions, but they are quite expensive. There was plenty to see in the museum permanent collections. Definitely worth a visit

I came to Houston to be seen at MD Anderson so I decided to go to a place to relax and I was not desappointed it is incredible how nice it is and it has an attraction by the colombian artist Beatriz Gonzalez and it is mind boggling

The Museum of Fine Art is truly an art museum, where "art" can mean any number of things, from statues to paintings to mobiles and everything in between. We liked the way the museum was organized, in various time periods and with types of art grouped together. That way, if inlaid enamelware is your thing, for instance, you didn't have to wander all over the place to get your fill. All of the paintings are well displayed and illuminated for good viewing from any angle or distance. The special exhibits, which rotate, should not be missed. Our only complaint is that there need to be more benches for those of us whose backs tend to start giving out after three or four hours of walking on hard floors.

This is a great Museum. If you like Art, you'll enjoy going here. The atmosphere is pleasant as you walk around and observe the various Art throughout the Museum. We'll worth seeing.

It was a great privilege to see the Berthe Morrissot show and the Private collection of mostly Impressionist works. The audio tour was excellent. This was the draw, but the permanent collection was also very well worth our time - and we come from an area with outstanding museum art collections.

We moved from Houston four years ago and returned for a visit last weekend. While there we visited the MFA and were reminded of just how nice a museum it is. World class. Lots of major artists presented. The layout is easy and the museum is just large enough to spend several hours and not be overwhelming. Highly recommended.

Please please consider adding audio to your MFAH app, which is quite rudimentary in current state. Having well defined audio that visitors can access with their phone increases the immersion, understanding, appreciation and retain of lovely background information. The clumsy hand held audios offered for the special exhibits are relics.....please please modernize 😊

Museum has good mix of art from different ages. Little something for everyone. Permanent exhibits area is quiet and you don’t feel rushed . Love the late 19 th century area

We really enjoyed our visit to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Since we only had limited time we concentrated our visit mainly to the Audrey Jones Beck building. There we saw some beautiful exhibits and paintings. This include some art from Picasso, Monet, Renoir among others. If you have time you can explore the musuem's website to see what is on exhibit and plan your visit around that. The tunnel joining the Audrey Jones Beck building to the Caroline Wiess Law Building is worth seeing. We passed through it a number of times. We enjoyed a light lunch in the museum's cafe before heading out to see some other parts of Houston's museum district. We found the museum to be well layed out and the staff on duty was approachable and helpful.

Very educated docent with interesting selection of her art and travels. Her family history included. Tour is every Saturday morning.

The paintings are breathtaking, they have fine works by very famous painters and you might need more than a day to explore it completely.

I am not a super fan of art but there are so many interesting objects inside that is impossible to get bored.Every Thursday it is free

We went during the Van Gogh exhibit and it was just amazing. Very well organized and also a ton of other floors and exhibits to explore. Don’t bother going to the cafe, however, it was not worth the wait.

Loved this exhibit! Felt like I was a kid again. Go before the exhibit ends September 15, 2019. Staff at this museum were kind and helpful.

The printed information was very helpful as were all the employees we encountered. The exhibits were beautifully curated and spaced. Multiple visits are needed to see everything. One unexpected courtesy was free access to small individual folding stools.

We went primarily to view the Impressionists wing. Highly pleased. One Monet I had not seen in picture books. The entire wing very striking for selection and quality. Highly pleased. One of the better collections I have seen in the states. Would love to go back and spend more time. Very nice museum of outstanding quality. One of the better ones I have been to outside of Europe. The small cafe downstairs in basement had very good food, excellently prepared pizzas, at decent prices. So if you have a chance grab a bite there. Nothing special to look at, but great service and really good food for a museum setting. In other words you don't have to leave the building in the 100 degree heat just to eat decent food. Cool.
