Zoe Sandejas: Houston Museum of Fine Arts

I've been dying to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts the moment I arrived Texas. There was a special exhibit by Yayoi Kusama that day and I really really wanted to see it. Unfortunately, the tickets were sold out so all I was able to see were a few sculptures she had.

There was a really long line when my grammy and I got there. It was probably 15 dollars for the entrance. Not bad. Not bad.

The place was very bright. For an art museum, I didn't expect so much light coming from every direction. Normally, Museums are dim with just enough light to give emphasis to the pieces. Butt HMFA was just damn bright.

They had this pink installation (above) that actually acted as a bridge from one building to the other. There were security guards in the middle to warn the guests not to step off the bridge or else the installation would get ruined. It was actually pretty trippy if you'd ask me.

Despite the majesty that is the museum, can we please talk about their cafe? Their desserts were unbelievably divine!

I had 3 of these.

Last one standing.

Oh my and their lasagna? Heavenly.

The Gift Store had so many wonderful items and books that you would think it were another exhibit.

The sculptures and statues were breathtaking. The lighting was on point too. My photos don't actually do them any justice.

This is arguably the most detailed painting I have ever seen. Can you imagine how tiny those people are? The whole painting is just 30 finches by 60 inches.

BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW TINY THE SEAGULL IS.
