Rothko Chapel

The Rothko Chapel is a non-denominational chapel completed in 1971 that houses 14 large color-field paintings by Mark Rothko. The chapel is located in the Museum District and is operated as an independent foundation offering free admission, programs, and services. Images of the chapel’s dimly lit interior and Rothko canvases have been widely reproduced and circulated online, making it a frequent subject of photography and social-media posts. The site is documented in art-historical literature as a significant work of 20th-century art and architecture.
