Very small - one room - recreation of a small byzantine chapel that houses the art that was stolen from the original chapel. More

I think this is closed now...too bad, it was a very serene and beautiful space More

The best time to see this chapel is when you are also visiting the Menil and the Rothko Chapel More

I was directed to this hidden gem many years ago by a friend. I don't stop by as often as I'd like but each time I do I'm left breathless. The entire thing just amazes me! More

The story of how Dominique deMenil rescued these frescoes is fascinating. Unfortunately, she also agreed to give them back, and so off they went in March 2012. More

We were there on March 7th and it was closed. They told us the frescos were being returned to Cyprus or something like that. So check before you go. More

Unfortunately the frescoes have left Houston - as of March 4, 2012 - but this was a beautiful and quiet place to visit. It was very interesting to see the warm colored frescoes juxtaposed to concrete and glass. More
