The Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens are a division of Houston’s inspiring Museum of Fine Arts, although the collection is housed in a much more unique setting than the rest of the museum. This historic house museum of American decorative arts and paintings is located inside of the former home of Ima Hogg, a leader and philanthropist in the Houston area.
Just a short trip from Siena at Memorial Heights, the museum is set up just like an authentic historic home rather than a traditional art gallery, and it has one of the most impressive collections of American furnishings, silver and ceramics found anywhere in the world. Prized paintings also line the walls in an organic manner like they would be when Hogg and her family inhabited the home, creating a truly unique visit for art appreciators. Outside, the home itself is situated on 14 acres of land complete with lush gardens and tall trees, adding even more beauty for visitors to admire.
