5 /5 Jon L Albee: Before you visit here, you must consider this important point: While this site IS a museum to a certain extent, it is first and foremost a place of learning. This is an art school, populated with students, teachers and professors whos first occupation is not customer service. Theyre here NOT primarily to serve the public as much as to serve the University. If you keep that in perspective you may enjoy your visit, but if youre going to nit-pick the service quality, or if you come here with a chip on your shoulder about the students, faculty and staff, there are better places in Houston to see. An art school where the community is intentionally allowed to experiment and nurture developing skills may not be for you.
The things on display here are a nice combination of student work, faculty work, and exhibits from outside. The building itself is wonderful. If youre on campus, take some time to explore some of the outdoor art pieces that are scattered around.
