The Menil Collection The Menil Collection

We are pleased to welcome you to Houston this fall to celebrate the inauguration of the Menil Drawing Institute — the first freestanding facility built expressly for the acquisition, study, exhibition, conservation, and storage of modern and contemporary drawings. It is the museum’s fifth art building and the first added in over 20 years.

The new exhibition galleries will debut with The Condition of Being Here: Drawings by Jasper Johns, an exhibition spanning 50 years of Johns’s career with works from 1954 to 2016.
