Menil Collection

More info

Philanthropists and art patrons John and Dominique de Menil established the Menil Foundation in 1954 to foster greater public understanding and appreciation of art, architecture, culture, religion, and philosophy. In 1987, the Menil Collection’s main building opened to the public. Today, the museum’s art buildings and green spaces are nestled within a residential neighborhood in central Houston. On a 30-acre campus, visitors are invited to explore the Menil’s main museum building, Menil Drawing Institute, Cy Twombly Gallery, and Dan Flavin Installation at Richmond Hall. The museum’s holdings include more than 25,000 works. The Menil continues to build on the visions and philosophies of its founders, with new acquisitions intended to keep the museum vibrant, intellectually curious, and relevant in an ever-changing world.
