The Menil Collection campus

The Menil Collection is a free-admission art museum in Houston founded by John and Dominique de Menil and opened to the public in 1987. The Menil campus includes the Menil Collection, the Cy Twombly Gallery, and the Menil Drawing Institute, and is noted for its low-profile buildings and residential setting. Its quiet galleries and small scale create a tucked-away atmosphere compared with larger city museums.
