Enjoy! More info at www.menil.org
^ Great museum, designed by the same architect Renzo Piano of the Centre Pompidou in Paris and Kansai Airport in Osaka, with a very personal and exceptional collection of art from the antiquities to the contemporary, i.e. the personal taste of the de Menils is found in the similarities between the Cycladic figures and modern sculptures, between the Northwestern Indian head-dress and African masks. I especially love the paintings of the Surrealist artist Rene Magritte in the collection. A must see in Houston.
