Summer Nights at the MFAH


July & August 2023

This summer, escape to where it’s always 68 degrees. The Museum is yours, without the crowds. All galleries and exhibitions are open in a private setting during these prime hours. Enjoy a cocktail, chat with curators, hear live music, and spend time up close with your favorite works of art.

  • Entry includes one complimentary drink per admission ticket and access to all exhibitions throughout the entire Museum.
  • MFAH members may attend all Summer Nights events for free as part of their membership benefits.
  • Cafe Leonelli at MFAH is open for Happy Hour from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. with $5 specialty focaccia slices, $5 wine by the glass, and $3 beer, with a discount for MFAH members.
