If you find yourself in Houston, a good place to visit is The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH).
It has a good selection of art and archeology artifacts; and MFAH also hosts national tour items on a consistent basis.
My favorite painting at MFAH is The Corn Poppy (c.1919) by Kees Van Dongen. It’s found on the second floor in the impressionism section. The painting itself is not very large, but has a charm that makes it hard to forget. It’s a very colorful oil on canvass. Unlike many paintings in museums that dramatically overwhelm, I can easily imagine The Corn Poppy hanging in my living room or bedroom.
The MFAH is located at 1001 Bissonnet Street in downtown Houston, not far from the Houston Four Seasons where we stayed at during our last visit. The museum website is mfah.org.
