Museum der Schönen Künste, Houston
The Basics
At the MFAH, museum goers can view myriad artistic styles through the works of master painters and photographers. The Beck Collection showcases Impressionist, post-Impressionist, and early Modernist works from artists like Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, and Henri Matisse, while the Manfred Heiting Collection features 4,000 images taken since the invention of photography. The Glassell Collection of African Gold is notable as the largest collection of its kind in an American museum.
Basic admission grants access to the permanent collection and most exhibitions, though some special exhibitions require a separate fee. The museum is also an option on the Houston CityPASS, a multi-attraction ticket that offers discounted admission to some of Houston’s most popular attractions.
