Houston is a modern American city, filled with forward thinkers and groundbreaking artists. Take advantage of the modern amenities with a visit to two of the most unique museums the city has to offer. One will have you shooting through space, while the other will have you cruising down the highway in a shoe-shaped car!
Space Center Houston
Blast off with an interactive tour at Space Center Houston, the official visitor center at Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. This cutting-edge facility will have your imagination running at the speed of light by immersing you in the wonders of space technology. Hands-on exhibits put you right inside of a replica of the International Space Station, and you can even make reservations to have lunch with an actual astronaut, prepared by an award winning catering staff. After lunch, feast your eyes on a full-scale replica of an authentic space shuttle. This innovative museum is every kid's dream!
Art Car Museum
Houston's Art Car Museum, also known as the "Garage Mahal," is a unique art museum dedicated to car-related contemporary art. Here, you'll find sculptures that include a car shaped like a high heel, covered bumper to bumper in delicately placed seashells. There are no limits to the ways in which each car has been transformed into artistic masterpieces. Check the calendar for special events, or stop by during gallery hours for this modern display of art on wheels.
