Please note: The MFAH Films box office accepts payment by cash, check, and credit card. Tickets can be purchased in advance in three ways: online, in the museum lobbies, and at the box office. The box office opens at 5:30 p.m. for weekend evening screenings and at least 30 minutes before show time for most other films.
So that we may be of better service to allow as many people possible to enjoy a MFAH film, please understand that it may be necessary to refrain from printing tickets for multiple film days and/or times within the hour of a posted film screening.
You may also obtain film tickets from any ticket desk in the lobbies, if an available staff person is working in that area.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this matter.
