Programs are free with general admission and require no pre-registration. To find out details about specific programs and resources, click on the links provided at right.

Classes and workshops at the MFAH are designed to offer an in-depth learning experience for the entire family. Let’s Go! Family Workshops give families the tools they need to enjoy visiting the museum on their own. Homeschool Workshops provide curriculum-linked gallery experiences and studio projects for homeschool families in the Houston area. The Glassell Junior School, on the MFAH campus, offers art instruction for children ages 4 to 18. Year-round classes and workshops at Glassell run the gamut of creativity—from multimedia to cartooning, from miniatures to wearable art.
