The Menil Collection

1. The Menil Collection

5 star rating
25 reviews

Category: Museums, Tours

Always heard about this place, and finally got to go. FYI They are open Wednesdays to Sundays, until about 7 pm, and admission is free. There are several collections devoted to Surrealism, and also other collections like sculpture from Greek, Turkish, Iranian, African, Egyptian and Guinean cultures. Also 20th century pop art. All in all a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
