29. THE MENIL COLLECTION
Find your center at the world-renowned Menil
Collection, and the adjacent Rothko Chapel, which
both serve as places to inspire creativity and personal
reflection. Inside the Menil, you’ll find the personal
collections of John and Dominique de Menil, who
single-handedly put the Houston art scene on the map
internationally. On any given day, you’ll also find peo-
ple relaxing, reading, picnicking and playing games
on the lawns surrounding this jewel of a museum. The
Rothko Chapel is a non-denominational chapel that
serves not only as a chapel, but also as a major work
of modern art. On its walls are14 black but color-hued
paintings by Mark Rothko. The shape of the building,
an octagon inscribed in a Greek cross, and the design
of the chapel were largely influenced by the artist. It is
a center for international cultural, religious and philo-
sophical exchanges. It’s also a place of private prayer
for individuals of all faiths.
