Corporate Partners

Created by John and Dominique de Menil, The Menil Collection is recognized as one of the great art collections of the twentieth century. More important, the collection embodies the de Menils’ long-held belief that magnificent art has the power to touch, even to transform, the human spirit. The museum is free to the public in the hope that all parts of our diverse community can enjoy this art first-hand and through repeated visits come to know it more deeply. The Corporate Partners Program provides a means for Houston’s corporate citizens to assist the museum in continuing to offer this unique opportunity to our city and region.

“The word enchantment is, for once, literally appropriate…[The Menil Collection] is intimate, low-key, flooded with light and intelligence.”

--The Wall Street Journal

“Rare and attractive, important and eclectic…one of the biggest surprises in a surprisingly culturally driven city.”

--Financial Times of London
