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 consists of a group of art buildings and green spaces nestled within a residential neighborhood in central Houston. The Menil remains committed to its founders’ belief that art is essential to human experience and welcomes all visitors free of charge to its buildings and surrounding green spaces.
On a lush campus, visitors are invited to explore the Menil’s main museum building, the Menil Drawing Institute, the Cy Twombly Gallery, Dan Flavin Installation at Richmond Hall, and Fresco Building.
