Located at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts (MFAH), the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens are the home to the museum’s collection of American decorative arts and paintings. Displayed in the former house of Houston civic leader and philanthropist Ima Hogg, which is situated on 14 acres of beautifully manicured gardens in the historic River Oaks neighborhood, the collection consists of a range of paintings and decorative arts, including ceramics and silver.

The Houston Museum of Fine Arts is one of the best things to do in Houston TX for couples who love art. Bayou Bend is also home to the Lora Jean Kilroy Visitor and Education Center, which includes the Kitty King Powell Library and a retail store where visitors can purchase copies of their favorite paintings and other works of art. The gardens may still be closed due to flooding.
