Best Museum Exhibit
Award Winner 2012

Description

Located inside the world-renowned MFAH, the Brown auditorium shows single screenings of films with high artistic merit. Foreign offerings are common, as are more obscure domestic productions. This is far from a traditional theater - no popcorn smell - but it might be one of the most enlightening movie experiences in town. Check the online calendar to see what's coming up.

2012 | Best Museum Exhibit

Some 3,000 years after his death at the age of 19, King Tutankhamun still fascinates people around the world, including thousands of fans who visited the "Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs" exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. (The museum had to open seven days a week to accommodate the crowds.) Priceless riches, including more than 100 impressive relics from the 30 Egyptian royal dynasties, were on display. But the most anticipated treasures were the relics from... More »
2012 | Best Art Museum

Like the New York Yankees, the only word to really describe the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is "powerhouse." True, it has the kind of deep-pocketed endowment that attracts top-dollar traveling exhibits like the recent "Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs," but it concurrently showed its annual collection of Third Ward photography taken by Jack Yates High School students. Besides the two architectural marvels of the Caroline Wiess Law and Audrey Jones Beck buildings, the... More »
2001 | Best Movie Theater

The newly renovated auditorium debuted with the premiere of a redone version of the 1984 Oscar-winning film Amadeus to show off, among other things, its new sound system. (The Oscar-winning sound man, Mark Berger, was even on hand to talk with the audience about the restoration.) The theater has family flicks, and movies like Star Wars and the works of Robert Frank to accompany the museum's exhibits. A whole festival was devoted to Iranian movies, which film connoisseurs consider to be among... More »

I went here for the lecture series for class, great big screen and comfortable seats, but it's a pain if the place is full and you can't get a seat. They're always showing something, check out the MFAH website. I suggest buying tickets ahead of time instead of at the door on the day of the show.
