On the Grid : The Menil Collection

"Surrounded by the most quintessential Montrose bungalows, The Menil Collection is one of our most beloved places in the neighborhood. The main building was designed by architect Renzo Piano in 1987, and distinctive ceiling louvers allow the space to be lit by natural light. It is a world class museum free of visual clutter and pretentiousness. Making art accessible and allowing visitors to have their own personal expericence with it was of the utmost importance to the museum's founders John and Dominique de Menil. In addition to providing our community with an incredible collection of art, the Menil has a conservation studio and research library, publishes books, and is an educator. Still growing, The Menil is truly a gift to our city." - Curiosity and Curiosities
