Art Car Museum ("Garage Mahal")

The Art Car Museum, nicknamed the "Garage Mahal," opened in 1998 and focuses on contemporary art with a special emphasis on art cars and vehicle-based installations. It mounts rotating exhibitions and preserves works connected to Houston's art car movement. The museum is closely associated with the annual Houston Art Car Parade, often cited as the largest art car parade in the world. The institution operates as a nonprofit presenting outsider and contemporary art in the Heights neighborhood.
