Art Car Museum ('Garage Mahal')

The Art Car Museum, often called the 'Garage Mahal,' is a small nonprofit museum in Houston dedicated to art cars, folk art, and contemporary outsider art. Founded in 1998 by Ann and James Harithas, it occupies a modest building on Heights Boulevard and regularly mounts rotating exhibitions that can be easy to miss from the street. The museum is closely tied to Houston's Art Car Parade and the local art-car community and emphasizes unconventional, vehicle-based artworks.
