Menil Collection and Richmon Hall


The Menil Collection a good place to have a second date! ;)

The several leafy blocks surrounding the main museum building constitute a compound or campus that has been described as “a neighborhood of art.

The Renzo Piano-designed museum opened to the public in June 1987 and houses John and Dominique de Menils' privately assembled collection of twentieth-century art, including over 15,000 paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, photographs, and rare books.

The museum also maintains an extensive collection of pop art and contemporary art from Jackson Pollock,Andy WarholMark RothkoRobert RauschenbergVija Celmins and Cy Twombly, among others. Also included in the museum's permanent collection are Antiquities and works of ByzantineMedieval and Tribal art.
