Editorial Review for Museum of Fine Arts, Houston - Brown Auditorium Theater – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
You can lose hours upon hours in these hallowed halls, enjoying cherished impressionistic paintings by masters such as Signac and Monet, African and 20th-century sculpture, textiles and costumes, ancient arts and the decorative arts collection. Among this unique collection is an Ettore Sottsass room divider, all angles and splashy colors, that is not only a startling piece of eye candy but also tickles the imagination.
The Collection
MFAH offers several intriguing film series each year, with special emphasis on films from cultures that are ignored by the Hollywood machine. It's probably the only place in town you'll get to see next year's Best Foreign Film Oscar candidates. There are tons of lectures and symposia pertaining to the exhibits and collections, including the always enjoyable annual Textiles and Costume Institute public lecture.

This place rocks.. they have new exhibits all the time.. It is only free general admission on Thursday nights. The special exhibits such as the Impressionism art going on now is not free.
Pros: refreshing, cool, inspiring
