Visitors to the sprawling Houston Museum District can enjoy free admission to many of the city’s leading art institutions. Located in an area spanning from Downtown Houston to Montrose and across to the Museum Park, visitors can easily explore some of Houston’s best museum offerings for free.
Among them are the Museum of Fine Arts, The Health Museum, Houston Zoo and Menil Collection as well as many other museums located in the Museum District. Most offer free admission on specified days or times, while others are always free.
Houston’s cultural attractions have a tradition of offering free entry on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some museums are free the whole day, while others have limited hours with waived admission fees.
The majority of Houston’s museums are always free. Most of the smaller museums are closed on Mondays.
