Activity Overview
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), is more than just a single building. The MFAH site includes a number of buildings and outdoor spaces that contain an exquisite mix of pieces and attractions for an unforgettable cultural day out for the whole family and children of all ages.
In addition to the main building and the relaxing Cullen Sculpture Garden (a great place to spend time when the weather's nice!), the museum also includes the gorgeous Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens for a mix of natural and architectural beauty. Not to be missed!
