“It was a great experience with beautiful artwork and a calm, soothing environment.” \u2013 Gabriel, United States<\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Most Remarkable Venue is the most prestigious of the awards being presented at the RVAs. Based on reviews from Tiqets customers, Houston\u2019s Menil Collection<\/strong><\/a> stands out for providing a serene and contemplative atmosphere to enjoy some of the best art in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Menil is home to the life\u2019s art collection of John and Dominique de Menil, French philanthropists and art collectors who immersed themselves in the Houston community in the 1940s and 1950s. It boasts one of the world\u2019s most important Surrealist art collections, as well as Byzantine and medieval relics, Indigenous art from across the globe, plus a strong catalog of modern and contemporary art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Works from the hands of masters like Ren\u00e9 Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, and Salvador Dal\u00ed line the walls, but the Menil is as much lauded for its illuminating spaces as it is for its collection of treasures. The Cy Twombly Gallery and the Dan Flavin Installation at Richmond Hall are hugely popular sites within the museum\u2019s sprawling campus in the leafy Montrose neighborhood of Houston, setting the Menil apart as one of the best museums & attractions in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
