Contemporary Arts Museum Houston

Is it just us, or is everyone weary of Oprah’s inescapably obvious “a-ha” moments? Everything from dropping weight to dropping toxic relationships seems to involve a revelation, and apparently the power of positive thinking is a mystery so esoteric it's called "The Secret." We need our discoveries to be a bit more mentally stimulating, please. That's why we head to the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston for our own “a-ha” moments contemplating the dynamic relationship between modern art and society with extraordinary exhibitions that provide a forum for critical, scholarly and public discussion. And if you’re just in the mood to put more mileage on your credit card, you can forget all of that and visit the gift shop, which has some of the most creative merchandise in Houston.
