Everything was great except the guy working the desk, he just sounded and looked like he did not want to be there. Very off putting... I hope he was just having a bad day the day I visited. Other than his negativity, the rest of the floor staff was polite and wonderful! I will come back for their next exhibition. It is free admission!

I was very impressed by the layout of Gallery on both levels and the presentations of the artwork. Vincent Valdez is an amazing artist- Houston is very fortunate to have an
artist of his caliber. The museum staff were friendly and informative. Definitely look forward to experiencing the next exhibit at the Contemporary Arts Museum

We had a pleasant experience checking out the Vincent Valdez Collection.

Lots of life size paintings and cultural thought provoking pieces.

The display is around till March and I look forward to going back and examining again, for even more details that I can extract.

This in my opinion is one of best displays of artwork I've seen in a while and truly stirred my emotions.

I highly recommend visiting.

The museum was smaller than I anticipated but I loved all of the exhibits! I appreciated the sleek looking design of the outdoor space of the museum and the colorful exhibits they had on display. Located on a perfect spot in the Museum District - easily walk to the other museums in the area. Highly recommend to make this a stop on a multi museum day!

This fairly small exhibition was quite interesting. Showing us some of the american heritage and culture of America.
The gentleman at the reception was very helpfull, by telling us more about the district in the downtown area.
Oh and I almost forget, the entrance is free when we were there.

Had an amazing day date with my mom and daughters. We really enjoyed the CAMH Court. The art is exciting and truly contemporary. The Teen Council Exhibit downstairs was phenomenal! The amount of detail and character in each piece is outstanding. If you're looking for a free family outing, come here. It's also a nice place to bring a date. There's an area outside where you could have a lil picnic and then go enjoy the artwork.
