The Glassell School of Art 5101 Montrose Boulevard, Houston, TX 77006

"August 2023: The MFAH Glassell School of Art was on top of my Houston to-do visit but unfortunately too late to go inside. However you have public access to walk around the outdoor Brown Foundation, Inc. Plaza exploring the Cullen Sculpture Garden. My primary goal was to see the Cloud Column sculpture. I have see in person Cloud Gate (“Chicago Bean”) in Chicago and read the predecessor was being installed here. It was remarkable to see and marvel at. Besides this sculpture there are other amazing ones scattered on the grounds. The artistic environment here is top notch. There was even a splash pad for the kids and covered tables chairs. This nicely landscaped plaza also has a place to dine at Cafe Leonelli."

"I think this is a great place for content creators. The concept is open, there is plenty of artwork and the cloud sculpture is nice as well. It’s also not to far from the fine arts museum and Herman Park. The area itself is beautiful for making reels or anything else you could need. Plus the sculptures and artwork are great just to enjoy."

"Very nice fresh looking arts museum and school. There's plenty of activities that the school provides, and many of them are free. Great place to take pictures and enjoy the visual arts."

"Very underrated Cloud Column here done by same sculptor as the bean in Chicago. Also from the top, there are tremendous views of both Downtown Houston and Medical District skylines."

"Just checked out the new roof garden...and was thrilled to see a new Htown landmark in the making...I love how the roof pitch is used for a large outdoor gallery to view the adjacent sculpture garden w views to the park. The gentle slope makes for a comfortable stair climb but there is an elevator also...just not sure about hours operation. Parking is brutal but u can find street parking on weekend if u hunt around."
