Great shops, restaurants and some activities at times. I went here often when I lived in Houston. If I can make the time or when I visit the museum on my return trips I try to catch at least one restaurant.

The Houston Museum District should be on every visitor's itinerary. There is something for everyone. the Museum of Fine Arts houses a permanent collection of works by critically acclaimed artists and hosts a changing venue of exhibitions that attract sophisticated and casual interests alike.
