About Menil Collection

The Menil Collection is one of Houston's signature art museums, set in the Montrose area on the edge of the Museum District. Visitors come for its collection and for the surrounding campus of art buildings and green space, and to experience the neighbourhood's mix of galleries, restaurants and bars. Houston's arts scene pairs the Menil Collection with institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts, and the city's culinary culture – Texas barbecue, Mexican and Vietnamese cooking – is part of the draw. The climate is humid subtropical, with hot summers and mild winters; spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) bring mild temperatures and lower humidity. The lack of zoning has given Houston a diverse urban landscape of distinct neighbourhoods, and Montrose and the Museum District are among the most rewarding to explore on foot around a museum visit. Stay within 2 km of the Menil Collection and you are in that landscape.
