Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern

The Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern is a decommissioned 1926 underground drinking water reservoir beneath Buffalo Bayou Park that was converted into a public art space and opened for guided tours in 2016. The subterranean chamber is noted for its repeating concrete columns and atmospheric lighting, which have been used for site-specific art installations and performances. The cistern is managed as part of Buffalo Bayou Park's cultural programming and offers public tours and seasonal exhibitions.
