While the size of the city is surprising, and its many glistening skyscrapers evidence of its financial clout on the economy of Texas, there wasn’t a whole lot that we were interesting of visiting inside. We settled on visiting the MFAH, as they call themselves (Museum of Fine Arts – Houston). This was our first art museum on this trip, and Houston seemed like a big enough city to have an interesting museum. In addition, they had a temporary exhibit on the Impressionists, displaying artwork on loan from the Boston Museum which we have not yet visited). Non-flash photos were allowed, and Claudette will no doubt add many pictures she took. It was a pleasant visit, and every time we do such a visit, it is fun to guess who the artist is before we read the tag besides the artwork. We are getting better at it. Our entrance fee included access to three buildings, one of which features modern art. Of course, we had plenty of opportunities to have our usual “you call that art?” reaction. Nevertheless, there were some interesting pieces, including a few thought-provoking ones on illegal immigration.
