Great mueseum. Friendly staff. Viewed the Cyrus Cylinder but prior to that, we had drinks on the outdoor patio with music.

When I lived in Houston I went several times a year; now when I visit I always make sure it is one of the stops I make as there is always some exhibit I know I will enjoy. I have NO museum of fine arts in the entire state of SC and how I miss this one.

Memorial Day Weekend was the last few days of MFAH's Picasso in Black and White exhibit. Tailored around his sketches, charcoals, and black and white works.
