The Menil Collection

The Menil Collection is a free-admission art museum founded by John and Dominique de Menil, known for its holdings of modern and Surrealist art as well as antiquities. The museum emphasizes a contemplative gallery experience and is part of a cultural complex that includes nearby sites such as the Rothko Chapel and the Byzantine Fresco Chapel. The collection is housed in a low-rise, daylight-focused building in the Montrose neighborhood.
