The Menil Collection

The Menil Collection is a free-admission museum founded by John and Dominique de Menil that opened its main building in the Montrose neighborhood to house their collection of Surrealist, modern, and contemporary art. The Menil campus at street level integrates indoor galleries with park-like outdoor spaces and visible public sculpture, creating a public art environment across the site. The institution is a long-established center for accessible art programming in Houston.
