This is a small art exhibit right in the heart of Montrose. Its a pleasant little getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city without having to go too far. There's some good food spots near by as well and I actually got some food to go and ate it here, which provided a nice backdrop for a chill lunch. There is an actual indoor art exhibit as well, which was closed when I came but definitely plan to come back and check it out. The info booth also had some upcoming construction and builds to expand the Rothko Chapel so look out for some new additions! read more

Empty and dark. No inspiration. Why be quiet when there's nothing here. Loved that the history came from two Catholic men inspired by Vatican II. Why isn't that in all the promo literature and art history books I wonder. That's the only thing that was great. read more

Stunning. An oasis of quiet in the middle of a busy city. The silence inside is enforced in the best way. I loved seeing it. I loved everything about this place. read more

Rothko Chapel - The broken obilisk and the reflective pool - Art Museums Near Me - Houston, Texas

It's pretty good if you go with your expectations in check. I'm a huge Rothko fan and knew before going that it was just a single room. The place is staffed like a regular museum, to ensure the safety of the paintings. There was another guy sitting in the front row when we showed up and he was meditating/being extra. We were hushed by staff when I was whispering the significance of the space to my daughter; that was annoying and was our cue to leave. Spent maybe 5 minutes. read more

I've been on a date here once, and let me tell ya, it was the shortest date I've ever had in my life. Houston is chalk full of museums, and so I thought coming to the Rothko would be a great spot. Pre-hurricane damage, inside the chapel held fourteen of Rothko's paintings. Rothko was an American abstract painter known for his color field paintings. You won't need to deeply analyze his artwork--it's essentially just shades of color and simple rectangles. Outside, the Broken Obelisk still stands tall outside a reflection pool, dedicated to the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. It's good if you're just wanting to kill some time, but as a main attraction, absolutely not. read more

A highlight of our trip. I love a Rothko and this did not disappoint. The more you look, the more you see. You stare and things are revealed. Is it black? Purple? Is that some maroon? Is the top ... getting lighter? Is that a bright spot appearing? It's a beautiful peaceful space. Take some deep breaths and soak it in. The story of the sculpture outside reminds us of how far we've come. Yes, we have more to do, but we have come a long way. Beautiful area to walk around, enjoy the trees, take in some music maybe in the park, see the Menil. Great day. read more

Cool area although the chapel itself is closed indefinitely - there is still a nice pond with an obelisk you can check out (believe it is called the "Broken Obelisk") and I am sure they will be rebuilding the temple/chapel because I believe it was just water or flood damage. A recommended site to see if you are in Houston! read more

I'd be lying if I told you I enjoyed the Rothko Chapel. I had been wanting to check this spot out for years and it ended up being an ideal time this last visit given limited activities during COVID and that we were on the hunt for outdoor friendly activities. Note that visiting the chapel and garden grounds is free and occupancy is very limited. I'm familiar with Rothko's earlier work (aka the very vibrant and colorful work) so I was not expecting such a dark and industrial vibe inside the chapel. It somehow had the power to make me feel anxious and want to leave the space after ten mounted inside. The lack of natural light, sound, etc. was probably on the opposite side of the spectrum for what I look for in places of worship or meditation (nature, light, etc.). Rumor has it this place can be quite moving for others but I found it to be underwhelming. Good news is, the reflection pool and obelisk statue outside of the chapel is pretty and parking is easy peasy. read more

Just down the street from the Menil Collection is the Rothko Chapel. The architecture is quite unique, and even from the outside, you know this building is one of a kind. Walking around the grounds on the outside, you already get a sense that this is a place that wants you to get really introspective and think about your thoughts. Once inside, this is all the more highlighted by just how quiet and calm everything feels. Sitting in the space, you can't help but enter a state of meditation and without the sounds and movements of the world outside. It really is a unique experience that is worth paying a visit to :) read more

I have no idea why it took me 3.5 years to visit this incredibly peaceful landmark that truly takes your breath away. From the moment you enter the chapel, you are enveloped by a sense of serenity and calmness. The interior of the chapel is lined with large, color-rich abstract paintings, all black themed, creating an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. We spent about :30 minutes just admiring and contemplating but one can spend hours simply sitting and soaking in the peaceful ambiance of the chapel, reflecting on the beauty of the art and the profound stillness of the space. The quiet surroundings and the absence of distractions make this chapel a perfect place for meditation and quiet introspection. When we visited it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop inside the chapel. The Chapel is not only a masterpiece of art but also a symbol of unity, peace, love and hope. Its simple, yet powerful message is one that touches the hearts of all who visit. The Rothko Chapel is a must-visit for anyone seeking a moment of serenity and peace in the midst of a fast paced town like Houston. In addition to the zen-like atmosphere inside the Chapel, the outdoor garden space adds to the overall experience of serenity and peace. The beautiful sculpture that adorn the grounds are a testament to the Chapel's commitment to promoting unity and harmony. The lush greenery and tranquil pond also provide a perfect backdrop for quiet reflection and meditation. Again, the key theme is quiet. Although there were about a dozen people wandering and meditating in the chapel, everyone was respectful of the place and each other. Whether you are walking through the gardens, admiring the sculpture, or simply taking in the serene surroundings, the Rothko Chapel offers a truly unique and peaceful experience. read more

It's a square room with what looks like erased blackboards hanging on the walls, with security guards staring at you the whole time (probably wondering what you're imagining you're seeing), It was a waste of time. Outside there's a nice metal sculpture in a reflecting pool; we took a photo of that. They're in the process of creating an outdoor meditation garden and I guess step 1 was to cut down the very old trees, which was a shame, so you can meditate in the heat of the summer sun. read more

Really enjoyed our visit to this lil oasis in the city. The welcome center is small but nice - just enough book selection and historical information to set the mood. Then short walk to the chapel is lovely and helps create introspection. The foyer entrance of the chapel is darkened, guest book in opened in invitation. The chapel was smaller than I expected, but it is also somehow just right. Wooden benches are spaced nicely. I found the chapel, hanging art and the quiet was just what I needed. read more

If you are a spiritual person then this is a must check out place in Houston. This was right up me and my husband's alley. It's a little place that offers stillness and quietness. The chapel isn't very big but the atmosphere is powerful. We spent some time here for meditation and to reflect on all our blessings. It had me feeling refreshed and full of gratitude once we were done. They do not allow any photos or videos inside. There is parking around the perimeter of the park. read more

Go with an open mind! You may love it or you may hate it. Either is okay. Let me start by saying that I really dislike Mark Rothko's work or Color Field art in general. I understand the intention behind it (emotional connection to color) but lack the intended response. It's not for me and it does nothing for me. That being said, I was surprised by how much I appreciated this space. It's much more immersive than standing in front of a painting on a wall. I don't want to give away too much but you are surrounded by color panels (naturally). I read here that it made some people anxious but I found it tremendously calming (which is peculiar because I am usually anxious). They don't allow photography and that's actually really good because you can stay focused on the space around you. I would recommend staying past your initial reaction. See how your mind responds when you don't try and think about what you should think and how you should respond. Practical stuff: FREE! Currently, tickets must be booked online for a slot. You can also swing by the welcome center but you risk not getting in. We got lucky and scored the last 2 tickets for the upcoming entrance time. I overheard the staff say that once they sell out, you can do stand by. They give you a half hour to hang out there, but everyone left the chapel relatively fast so I think you shouldn't have a problem getting in. Get online tickets if you can, just to avoid waiting. read more

I entered this establishment with virtually no knowledge of what it was. This, I admit, was my fault. That being said. It is easily the dumbest art installation I've ever seen. Two stars because I at least got a laugh out of it. read more

Art is what each one of us makes of it, I guess. I found this little chapel underwhelming, overly stuffy, airless and not especially peaceful since it was packed with an ever-shuffling crowd. In the silence, the smallest movements of each person created sounds which seemed way louder than normal. One can hear, nay, feel, every cough, sneeze or loud breathing noise...egad...I could not wait to get out into the fresh air. Whereupon I found the peace I was looking for. Compared to the cacophony inside, the serenity and beauty of the grounds was heavenly. Since the weather was a bit cool, the grounds were deserted, adding a welcome sense of calm. So I found my quiet place after all. read more

A lovely and contemplative space. I enjoyed falling into the subtle mist of the paintings and letting my mind wander over them. Appearing at first to be black, colors emerge slowly like eyes adjusting in a dark room, revealing blues, purples, reds. I appreciate that staff maintain the tranquility of the space by gently reminding people to keep silent and technology free. It is important to be able to find peace in silence without distractions and I'll be making a point of visiting this chapel on future trips to Houston. read more

i return to this place in my mind over and over. it's one of my mental safe places. i'd rather just go there over and over, but it's a little hard to relax when there's about 5 employees (almost one in each corner--it's octagonal) staring at you the entire time. kinda doubt rothko would approve of that but yea read more

Non-denominational monumental chapel! This is a modern art masterpiece set in the museum district of Houston. Admission is free, but we had to make a reservation to get in. This isn't like other chapels. It's a quiet, meditative place. There's no pipe organ or choirs here. It's an octagonal shaped building with benches from which you can admire the large paintings of blue. Everyone was sort of hushed quiet when we went and took it in. Out front of the brick built chapel, you can find a statue of a column in front of a reflecting pool. It was originally intended to be for the city of Houston to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr's death, but the city passed on it. So Mark Rothko, the designer got a hold of it, and it's a perfect addition to the site. It's nice to get to walk around the building and take in all the different angles and spots to chill from. There's lots of other artsy places to relax around here as well. Parking was along a street. The whole experience was free. The Rothko Chapel had its intended effect, and got me all relaxed and meditative. read more

"A sacred space open to all for contemplation and action" Don't let the outside take away what's inside. The bricks around the place don't seem to be in the best of shape as their is mold and normal wear on them. But once you enter you are in peaceful bliss. I am not much of an art fan so I really don't understand the purple/black paintings. But I do enjoy the symmetry of the room. It's almost silent with benches all around for you sit down on. It's air conditioned so if nothing else on a hot day just come in and escape the heat. There are matts and pillows already inside so you can sit and meditate. Honestly, if I was a student at St. Thomas and I wanted a nice quiet place to review my notes I would just come here. It's more quiet and peaceful than any library. The obelisk out front you can tell has taken it's toll from the years of dirty Houston rain. It looks like it's rusting and the reflecting pool is not as pristine as it could be. But this is another MUST see in Houston. read more

Rothko Chapel - Art Museums Near Me - Houston, Texas

This small building and its contents have been lathered with superlatives since it opened to the public in 1971. It was meant as a neutral space. The list of famous people who have visited is lengthy. It seems to be a destination for pilgrims as well as curious visitors. When I have the chance to walk the streets of this neighborhood, I always visit this chapel and yet, as much as I appreciate the oeuvre of Mark Rothko, this room leaves me cold. My religiosity left me before I reached my teens and my personal spirituality finds inspiration elsewhere so, perhaps, the function of this room is not meant for me. I always thought it was the black canvasses that alienated me. However, on this visit, I realized that it's the building itself that pushes me away. For me, this building is not uplifting; rather, it's a bunker that weighs me down. Some will say that I just don't get it. Well, that's insulting, really, and it dismisses the intangible aspects of art that can't be explained. People don't get art or not get it: it's a fluid not finite experience. All art is a reflection of humanity, so it's not as simple as mastering a work of art then moving onto the next one. On the day that I visited, there were a number of people in the room. One seated woman seemed to be meditating as she rocked back-and-forth ever so slightly, others sat at the end of the long benches staring at the dark canvasses as if they were trying to elicit something from them. A few stood wondering what this room was all about. Personally, I find solace and inspiration outside at the Barnett Newman obelisk and nearby in the small building that houses a number of Cy Twombly's works. I don't know why I like Cy Twombly -- detractors will say it's so much scribbling after all -- but I do. read more

There are few places in Houston where the crowds disappear and inner serenity return. This chapel is that space - both inside and outside on its grounds. I just wish it were open all day. Whether I need some time and space to myself or I'm meeting others, it's a great place to remember why I love Houston. If you have yet to visit, then you could wander over one day. It's free! read more

Finally managed to make it here! Despite having visited the Menil Collection a billion and one times, I somehow always neglected to walk the few additional yards to check out The Rothko Chapel. For shame! Anyway, Rothko Chapel is kind of a big deal, so if you haven't gone yet or you're an out-of-towner looking for legendary Houston haunts - do it! It's free (donations appreciated) and it is a nice calming break from the stereotypical aspects of Houston's metropolitan nature. That being said, I actually really dislike Mark Rothko (the truth comes out!) - not in a really rational way or anything. My high school Humanities teacher was OBSESSED with Rothko and this chapel and I swear he occupied 75% of our time with him raving up and down about "Rothko this . . . Rothko that . . ." Maybe my subconscious avoidance of this place stems from that whole extended episode of Rothko bombardment? Anyway, whoop-de-doo - four ginormous canvases of varying depths and juxtapositions of greyish black planes suspended over the four walls of the chapel. Oh so interesting, tell me more! Just kidding, it is a perfectly peaceful place to meditate, reflect, and read (there's a modest library of religious and philosophical readings in the hallways before the main atrium area. I did observe a fellow completely engrossed in his book, not to be interrupted in the least bit by the people cycling through (everyone maintains a decent level of "quiet" out of respect and the Rothko staff do monitor the room to ensure such) - but it's not the most well-lit place. Although I'm not most reflective, meditative, or religious person - I do like the idea of The Rothko Chapel. It's simply a place to just "be," in a way. Choose your own mental adventure. I very much appreciate the concept and theory. I highly suggest reading the brochure or wiki-ing beforehand or contemporaneously with your visit to put it all in context. Otherwise you might think it's all kind of hokey. The sculptures, reflecting pool and landscape surround the chapel also convey a kind of clean, serene kind of feeling. Not that I believe in this sort of thing, but it's a perfect backdrop from a spiritual cleansing. Or you know, if you're feeling contemplative and wish to detach from the pitfalls of the fast-paced real world or you just want to let your mind wander with wonder . . . read more

I attended Rothko Chapel last week (November 2021) to inquire about event space and see the art in the building as well. It was interesting. I was not able to attain what I meant to attain, but was glad to finally arrived at the location. I took a picture of the structure outside in the water, as I like reflection pools a lot. Since, this is a finishing draft past 2021, I have now have performed in January 2022 at the Rothko Chapel in coordination with a radio program with special guest speaker on historical events in black history. Additionally, we learned through the radio broadcast speaker that the MLK pool artwork statue was connected to Martin Luther King's history as the concert presented was, too.

I first stumbled upon this museum/chapel in high school on an art museum field trip; this was not part of the trip! I came back a few times on my own, and moved to Montrose later after college. This is one of my favorite places in Houston, and was my introduction to Mark Rothko / his art / his life. It's odd to see giant (and I mean giant) canvases on the walls being painted entirely black. When in high school, my friends and I wondered if it was a joke! (Smartass kids being jerks!) It has turned into a wonderful spot to meditate and enjoy a moment of peace for me now, though. I think it's really special. read more

This is a Houston landmark so it deserves respect but I can't say that I've been inside there for more than 3 minutes at a time. It's more of a "It's me, it's not you" kind of thing Rothko so don't take it personally, but it's just really really boring inside. I only come for special events. Here is what to expect. You sign in, you go inside and there is a dark space with gray walls and a skylight. You can sit on the bench while being eyeballed by the security staff and while sitting wonder what you were thinking. It's kind of depressing actually so unless you're into zen and meditation and stuff, you'll hate it. On the other hand, they have some nice shows that are free and open to the public at times- mostly outside in the courtyard. Those are pretty awesome. They had Taiko drumming last time and THAT was not boring. read more

If you care about modern art, you must visit the Rothko Chapel. Or to frame it differently, if you care about art at all, you must visit the Menil Collection when you are in Houston -- and, for that matter, its holdings are good enough that they are worth a trip for that purpose. And then the Rothko Chapel is on the same grounds. That is not coincidence; it was funded by the de Menil family. It is in fact a chapel, a nonsectarian religious space. You can rent it. The painter is one of those whose canvases are recognizable if you have only the least familiarity with modern art. I believe the artist himself objected to, or did not accept, the assignment to the color field school. (Another with that designation, Clyfford Still, has his own one-person museum in Denver, and that is among the best if not the single best one-person museums out there.) They are not comparable, but I prefer the Rothko Room at the Phillips in Washington, D.C. That is probably due to the deliberately gloomy look of the Chapel. (Disclosure: I have not been back since the pandemic era renovation to add a skylight with louvers. The photos show a quite different interior.) I am ambivalent about Brutalism. The building itself is worth seeing. I understand Philip Johnson was the original designer, but he and Rothko had a spat, they hired others, then Rothko committed suicide. Nonetheless, the building, like much of Brutalism, is striking and monumental, if also offputting and not for human beings to occupy for any duration. There also is a Barnett Newman sculpture, Broken Obelisk, which is worth looking at, and it has a sorry back story, of Houston turning down a donation because it honored Martin Luther King. Most of what I know of Rothko is from the theatrical play Red. Alfred Molina and Eddie Redmayne were in the original London production. I saw it, if I recall, at the Berkeley (California) Repertory. It is powerful. (They made a movie with Molina but not Redmayne.) The Rothko Chapel is a must-see because the Menil is a must-see. read more

We just learned about abstract art so we wanted to visit the Rothko chapel. I always enjoy seeing his pieces but it was hard to relax in the space because there were like 3 people just staring at us.

Luckily, the Menil collection next door has a few Rothkos in a more relaxed environment. read more

So much has been written about this chapel that I won't attempt to rival any of that, but it was a very warm, emotionally calming visit for us and we will definitely visit again in the future. It was, in fact, gratifying enough that we made a donation and signed up for the newsletter. On a grey day the art appears rather black, but there are abstracts under there. The problem for seeing them visually is that they only come out under certain light conditions, which we did not have. It's also quite interesting having so many strangers around all praying or meditating for different things. There was a loose, unspoken unity between us permeated by the silence. I love this place. read more

What my initial review failed to mention was the magnificent sculpture immediately adjacent to the chapel. Entitled Broken Obelisk, it was created by Barnett Newman in the 60's. I see it as an allegory of the human condition: perched precariously and ready to topple at any moment and broken from past traumas, it still reaches boldly heavenward. It is truly inspirational. While viewing the sculpture, you can't help but notice that the shallow reflecting pond in which it sits is essential to the whole composition. What you see in the water is just an extension of the sculpture itself and brings out contrasts in color between the base and upper obelisk that aren't as apparent otherwise. This monolithic structure always buoys my spirit after being steeped in the sadness that I find within the chapel. read more

Very...underwhelming. I was in Houston on business, and being as I like to visit cool and out-of-the-way places in whatever new city I'm in, I decided to check out Rothko Chapel. It had gotten good reviews on Yelp, Atlas Obscura talked it up, so of course I wanted to see what was up! I drove through the Montrose neighborhood, which is pretty cool (reminds me of SoCo back home), looking out for a cathedral. Finding none, but my GPS insisting that I was right by it, I parked and took a short walk. I found a squat, brick building, with a lovely reflecting pool out front, but sadly no Obelisk; apparently it was back in Connecticut for refurbishing. No biggie, the space outside was relaxing, so I took a seat and did some pool reflecting before heading inside, to see the Rothko Chapel. Here's where I dispense with the flowery set-up and get straight to the point: I don't like this place. It is *quiet* inside. And I do mean *quiet*. Deathly quiet. And there were other people in there, too, meditating or just sitting and looking around. But it was what I would call "oppressively quiet," as in I literally became self-conscious of the russle of my jeans on the uncomfortable wooden benches. The "art" on the walls, if it could be called "art," were a series of large pieces of canvas done in varying shades of black. Very modern art. *Quick Aside: The closest anyone has ever come to explaining and defending modern art to me came from a fictional character in Kurt Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions." The fictional artist, referring to a painting he made that was a green canvas with an orange stripe, was that the orange stripe symbolized humanity's light against the green field of the struggles of life, or some crap. At least in that painting, there was more than one color. In short, the place was too quiet, too boring, too uninspiring for it to be relaxing to me. The artwork was crap, full stop, I really don't care what your opinion of Rothko's work is...it was crap. And the outside of the cathedral was even less interesting. Really, I give this location 1 stars based on the relaxing area OUTSIDE the cathedral; had I ranked this place based on the abomination before God that the cathedral is, I would give it 0 if I could. I'm sorry, but this place is bafflingly overrated. You can find relaxation and zen at myriad other places that at least inspire the soul. But I'm not bitter. read more

The Rothko Chapel is a non-denominational chapel founded by John and Dominique de Menil. The interior serves not only as a chapel, but also as a major work of modern art. On its walls are fourteen black but color hued paintings by Mark Rothko. The shape of the building, an octagon inscribed in a Greek cross, and the design of the chapel was largely influenced by the artist. The Rothko Chapel became the world's first broadly ecumenical center, a holy place open to all religions and belonging to none. It's also a center for international cultural, religious, and philosophical exchanges, for colloquia and performances. And it's a place of private prayer for individuals of all faiths. I come from a diverse religious background that includes elements of Judaism and the Quaker, Unitarian, and Christian faiths. I love pageantry (whether I believe it or not) and believe that when you try to be everything to anybody, something is lost within the depth of spiritual experience. As such and as simply beautiful the Rothko Chapter is, I experienced little connection with the divine during my contemplative visit here. Or to quote Genesis 28:16: God Was in This Place & I, I Did Not Know..... read more

This is an incredible experience no matter how many times you come here alone or bring family; friends visiting from out of town; or other people as you see fit. The broken obelisk outside in the shallow pond sets the tone that this is amazing, before you even get inside through those big burly doors. When you get inside it becomes insta-serious and thoughtful, and your journey begins as you go in and sit down, thinking about that galaxy far, far away in a time long ago .... read more

If you like to meditate and seek a serene space, the Rothko Chapel is for you. If you're looking for a gallery filled with pieces that you would hang inside your beach house bathroom, keep on walking. The inside is Spartan... Rough cement, wood benches and a few yoga balls for those who partake. On the walls of the chapel are flat, nuanced canvases which are the works of Mark Rothko himself. The coldness and depth of the flat canvases will suck you in, but like being a Jedi, be wary of the dark side. Poking fun at the relative "lack of conventional art" is for haters. Hate leads to anger. Anger leads to fear. Fear is the path to the dark side. Bring your tired, soul and find spiritual nourishment and deep calm at the Rothko Chapel. read more

This place is a place to speak to yourself and connect with God. Church sometimes distracts me from my main purpose & goal. So much going on, so many people...I need to have alone time in a spiritual place with God; this is my place. There is a real connection to the spirit in this place even when I sit outside. On MLK day they play his speeches in the chapel which re-verbs into your mind & soul. Very moving and wonderfully done. Especially for a speech teacher like myself who can appreciate the power of words spoken beautifully. Most times when I go it's quiet with all kinds of people coming in and out. I sit look up at the sky light that feels like God is looking at you. I swear every time I just speak to Him the light gets brighter. I get comfort here. I get peace here. And resolved here. Any place that can rejuvenate your mind and spirit to keep on living life is a wonderful place to be. read more
