    Life is too short to color inside the lines so why not go wild and explore the universe of color!…read more After visiting the NYC location, this was a must on our trip to Houston. It was a world of fun photo props rooms and cool FYI about the categories of color. You can book tickets online using their website or Instagram to reserve your day and time a lot. FYI, kids of all ages are welcome but no strollers are allowed as there are stairs to climb and go down. They have cute snack pairings like fortune cookies , taffy and ice cream as you explore each art room. I absolutely loved it and we did the entire place in about an hour. You can take even more time If you wish . Bonus: after you register inside , you keep a cool QR card to take all your photos and they email them to you after the experience! You can also use the kiosk to print your photos out for a fee . There are beverages for purchase as well ( beer, wine, water and poppi soda ) It's a must for a solo trip, date or group !

It is one of those places that can easily be a one and done. There is discounted weekday price starting at $19 for kids 3-12. Something tells me the $19 is if you buy it in advance. Meaning, not the day of. I paid $25 for the kids and $29 for myself online. The photo opps are what you make of it. Like for instance I've been to places where you press a button and the confetti drops down. For this, you have to actually throw the confetti up yourself. Good luck trying to figure this out with kids if you're looking for a good photo. They were also a bit underwhelmed with it. They loved the music room, the light bright room, and the balloon room. The goodies. It was cute. I'm trying bit to give the whole experience away if you are interested in going. It is best to pay for the ice cream online as it is a bit cheaper but not by much. Those cones were cute and delicious. I purchased the photo package. It really isn't necessary as you get to download the photos from a QR code you use when snapping the pics. There is a small parking lot near to it. If you wait for the group before you to leave then you can get a spot without an issue.

    I visited this museum specifically to view the Friday Khalo exhibit but found myself spending…read moreseveral hours exploring the rest of the museum. MFAH is a vast space that houses an impressive collection of arts and artifacts. Among its renowned pieces are works by Monet, Van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Matisse, and many more. The museum also features an Islamic Art Collection, Roman Catholic collection, and African Gold exhibit. Additionally, MFAH offers numerous immersive and interactive experiences for visitors. I particularly enjoyed walking through Ernesto Neto: SunForceOceanLife. A great experience for both adults and kids. Frida: The Making of an Icon, a captivating exhibition, graced the halls of MFAH in January and will leave May 17. This remarkable exhibition showcases over 30 works by the iconic artist. Among the treasures on display are her authentic dresses, back braces, corset, and boot, offering a glimpse into her life and artistic journey. If you are a fan, this is a must visit. You will not be disappointed. Note: Special exhibitions like Frida's is only $10 on Thursdays.

The…read moreexhibits are pretty standard art museum galleries that you could find anywhere, but they sometimes have temporary exhibits that are more interesting and eclectic. They have free admission every Thursday, and we paid $10 each to get the all access pass for temporary exhibits. Parking is $10 in the garage. We went to see a Frida Kahlo exhibit and an interactive playground-like exhibit by Ernesto Neto. They gave us hospital grippy socks to climb on the structure. Kusama's Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity was cool as well, although one minute of standing in there was definitely sufficient. The least enjoyable "immersive" exhibit was the James Turrell one where we just sat on a bench for one minute to watch something, except that nothing happened. I am not an art person, so I wasn't super engaged by this museum as it is pretty similar to other art museums, but I think it's a good one for patient people who enjoy art.

The security guards are rude as hell. Apparently you can't point at the art and god forbid you had your PAMPHLET open while you are walking. To the man who told me to close it, you are insufferable. The pamphlets are for the people and they can do whatever the hell they want with it. He must be so bored standing around doing nothing with his life that he decided to make an issue with my PIECE OF PAPER. The art is utter dog sh*t. I don't need to go to art school to say the art was awful. The art looks like someone took their poop and smeared it on canvas with scribbles. I think a toddler can create better art. Everyone looked so depressed to be working there which I can see why if I was staring at bullsh*t all day. I've been to so many art museums over the years and I have never had such an awful experience with the pieces and the staff. Rude staff, crap art. Only people who know nothing about art will enjoy this "collection". Make sure to not take pictures of the trash work, point at it, or have your pamphlet open because they will cause an issue with you.

This Montrose museum has an amazing,…read morethoughtfully curated collection of modern and contemporary art, with pieces ranging from Surrealism to African and Pacific art. The galleries are spacious and serene. Admission is free, and I feel I can't complain, but the vibe was off because of the security. They were overly watchful and grim and it was off putting and took away from the visit. Not sure what happened in the past but but they should revisit their approach IMHO.

I don't go to Rice or anything but anyone is welcome to come to quite alot of the events and/or exhibitions they have..! Some of the few I've been to are the recent Yoshitomo Nara exhibition and the beekeeping/real fish painting workshop ‍ Those were really fun and wonderful, at the time I got the chance to go with a friend which made it even better. Would recommend checking out what they have running and making memories with someone chu luv..! Butt! It's also the perfect spot for a solo date too. Don't feel shy going alone ‍ In fact, on my most recent visit this last Saturday (02/28/2026) I went solo to an outdoor show they apparently hold seasonally. And this time the performer was an artist I know and really like named Raveena! A modern r&b, jazz, pop desi-american singer. She was soooo amazing live, the crowd was very chill and happy to see her, the students who set up her stage? made it SO CUTE andd they even served free drinks felt like a really sweet and swell way to end february~

So interesting to join the Moody Center for the Arts Executive Director Allison Weaver on a walk to explore the art on the Rice University campus. An art gallery. Tents with murals. Indoor and outdoor stops. So much fun to stroll through the campus and enjoy works by Jaume Plensa, James Surls, Beverly Pepper and Mark di Suvero. Love the classic giant people formed by huge letters sculpted by Jaume Plensa. The Crown Fountain in Chicago is another well loved piece by Jaume Plensa. Interesting to hear how a work of art either fits or does not fit into a space. For example, Po-um by Mark di Suvero was in a place where the kinetic sculpture did not get the wind it needed to be able to move. Imagine having to uproot and transplant a twisted steel work that weighs hundreds of pounds, but that is what was done. Jaume Plensa wanted his sculpture Mirror to be along a walkway that would have been sweltering in the Houston heat. It looks so much more inviting nestled among the oaks. In fact, you can walk into the sculpture and sometimes students bring chairs to study near the piece. Interesting to hear also about the sea-saws that were used during the pandemic to allow students to interact while keeping them safely six feet apart. The tents served a similar purpose, but also served as a canvas for oversized murals. Don't miss James Turrell's Twilight Epiphany Skyspace. Climb the stairs to reach the second floor. Our tour ended at sunset just in time to watch the sunset sequence which lasts for about 40 minutes. So beautiful. Check out the Moody Center for the Arts Calendar. Admission and tours are free. Parking is available on paid lots on the Rice University Campus.

I have read many books on this point, including one that was incidentally life changing in my third (and final) year of high school, The Cheese Monkeys by Chip Kidd, back when my life could have gone in many artistic directions at NYU and beyond to EGOT but as I languished in high school theatre and was bullied enough I graduated a full year early I thought adult-me should play it safe in the corporate world which was ultimately a stupid decision having lost jobs and career momentum opportunities in the great recession and then again in the onslaught of the pandemic. Nowadays you have shows on the teevee such as Glee and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series that supportively tell gen-z kids to be themselves since they know employment prospects in the corporate world are a rather stacked deck unless your daddy, or a rich man you know from Boy Scouts that requests you call him daddy, owns the whole company. If you are a smart cookie and you read yelp reviews before you go, then you already know what you are getting into here. Many people regret coming to the installation enough that it is captured in reviews below telling you to just look at the pictures here and save yourself the trouble. While that is art "on demand" if you are one of those people, it lacks the visceral experience of walking into the installation and being slightly disappointed there in the flesh that you, yes you, put on pants that were only lightly lager-stained and left your house for this. First, the bouncer/security guard/stern man standing there gives you a longwinded spiel about what you cannot do here - anything fun. You can only take pictures from one specific spot far away from the lights so you see what those photos look like from the same boring ass angle, because taking photos from anywhere else in the building is illegal - or as the joke goes, that is just a sick bird, you mean to say unlawful. You can walk in, but not too closely. There are yuge numbers of security cameras erry where here and they are watching closely if you step even slightly out of line you will have IO guards come out with combat shotguns, pulse rifles, or worse, calculus homework they will make you do no matter how hard you cry. The lights juxtaposed against the blacked out doors/windows and bouncing off of the cement floor are just fun. It feels like it could have been a room in the Colour Factory on Kirby when that passed through town right before the pandemic started. The room at the back with the white lights arranged in art deco patterns is even more interesting to take in, like a fine wine priced above the $2.99 threshold at the local Trader Joe. The main draw of this place is basically that besides the stern man at the front with all of the rules and all of the guards with shotguns probably posted nearby given all of the rules, the lieutenant and I had the entire building to ourselves. So this was a very socially distanced afternoon since we had masks on the entire time indoors and so did the stern man at the front. Now that is a good, safe, pandemic friendly time out of the house unlike some other places such as HMNS. All the rules really harsh the mellow for making this a must see place though. There is no way to do a proper BABY SLUT (patent pending) yoga pose in front of the lights based on the rules, or whatever other kind of photo you need to take for the proper meaningless internet clout points of tomorrow on Rick Tock or whatever that appetizer is on the phones these days. We open at the close, so of course one of their many rules is no White Claws in the exhibit so beauty is NOT in the eye of the beer-holder at this installation - know before you go, yelp dot com. Know before you go.

I wasn't sure if this Meow Wolf would be the same as the others but it was a totally different story. This experience was labeled as Radio Tave. Upon entering we went through a quick check-in line, a metal dector and security. Then we walked into the line and were eventually directed to a waiting room where a friendly employee explained that there was a mysterious story that you could try to figure out or you could just explore. Then they led us into the room to start exploring at our own pace. It was a really cool experience and full of creatively fun art. It was definitely different and an out of this world experience. After exploring for a while we decided to stop by the souvenir shop. We didn't buy anything but they have a variety of items you can look at or purchase.
