The MFAH is sited on 14 acres in Houston’s Museum District, with a multifaceted campus that comprises multiple gallery buildings, a sculpture garden, an art school, and, nearby, two affiliated house museums for decorative arts. The encyclopedic collection numbers more than 70,000 works of art in a wide range of media, encompassing 6,000 years of human creativity. Currently, the Museum is engaged in a high-profile expansion project slated for completion in 2020 -- a campus transformation that is the largest cultural project under way in North America.
