History Book Club

The MFAH presents a unique book club inspired by history. Throughout the year, the two MFAH house museums—Bayou Bend and Rienzi—host free discussions about books on life in America and Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. Meetings alternate between the two locations. Learn more about the History Book Club.

The education programs also receive endowment income from funds provided by Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Ballard; Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Tate; and the James William Glanville and Nancy Hart Glanville Endowment.

Education programs at Rienzi receive generous funding from the Sterling-Turner Foundation; Alkek and Williams Foundation; Carroll Sterling and Harris Masterson III Endowment; and the Caroline Wiess Law Endowment for Rienzi.
