Discover America at the MFAH
In 2026, the United States marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. As the nation considers its past and imagines its future, art offers meaningful perspectives into moments in time.
With America 250, the MFAH highlights American artistic achievements in its permanent collection. Guests are invited to discover these works of art throughout galleries on the main campus and at both house museums: Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, and Rienzi.
Look for the America 250 icon next to selected works of art across the Museum galleries.
