Menil Collection

Byzantine, African and Modern art

1515 Sul Ross St
Houston, TX 77006

Named after Dominque Menil, one of the greatest art collectors of the 20th century, this building houses an enormous private collection that has to be rotated because it is too large to show at once. Most of the collection is of modern works with an emphasis on surrealism, but African art and works from the Byzantine period are also displayed. The art-oriented bookstore takes most credit cards.
