Rienzi
1406 Kirby Drive Map & Directions

On the third Thursday of each month, Rienzi highlights a great work of art in the Rienzi Collection. Gallery Talks are given by museum curators, conservators, educators, and librarians. 

February Gallery Talk
Trevor Boyd, assistant conservator, Decorative Arts at the MFAH, discusses how the museum staff prepares historic silver so that the pieces can be shown outside of display cases—presented instead in the round, in a house-museum setting.

Contact 713.639.7800 or rienzi@mfah.org for information. Admission is free, reservations encouraged.
