Asia Society Texas Center - Houston (TX)

5 /5 Melvin Maya: Last week I visited with a couple of friends. We grabbed a bite to eat inside and then began to work our way through the entire experience. Its a very nice and well thought out building. You gain a little insight to each of the different Asian cultures with the interactive displays. There was also a phenomenal exhibit at the time we visited. At the time of this review, Thursdays are free entry. Definitely worth a visit and I plan to go back again.

5 /5 Sherman On: Great facility, relaxing, and very tranquil atmosphere must come inside to get a feel Thursday night is free for entry. They have a lot of different activities and events to go to bring awareness of Asian culture and fulfilling their mission as an organization.

5 /5 Irene Tang: Gorgeous architecture and nice museum. I loved the lookout on the second floor of the water/mist going out. It is not too large of a museum but I liked the exhibits and they were really interactive. There’s a parking lot right across the street $7 for general or $5 for members. There is a café inside, which was pretty cute, though a little small and on the ground level. I like the interactive booth where you can learn a few words from various Asian languages, which was fun.

5 /5 Binh Vo: The Asia Society in Houston is a truly exceptional cultural institution that offers visitors an immersive and enriching experience. From the moment you enter, the museum’s architecture and thoughtfully designed galleries create an atmosphere that is both serene and inspiring. It’s a place where ancient traditions meet modern presentation, making it accessible and engaging for all ages. The museum’s collection is impressively vast, featuring over 18,000 objects spanning more than 6,000 years of Asian history. From delicate Japanese ceramics and Chinese calligraphy to intricate South Asian sculptures and contemporary Asian art, each exhibit is meticulously curated. The richness and diversity of the art on display highlight the unique histories and cultures of Asia, providing a well-rounded and deeply educational experience. What stands out the most is the museum’s commitment to storytelling. Every gallery is arranged in a way that not only showcases the art but also contextualizes it with clear, informative signage and interactive elements. The narratives help visitors understand the cultural and historical significance of the works, making the experience much more meaningful. Come and enjoy your stay and remember to check out Kins Cafe.

5 /5 Li Na (娜爷 AM1050美食琅琊榜): Asia Society Texas Center undoubtedly stands out as the premier educational museum and cultural center in Houston. Their unwavering dedication to promoting and encouraging Asian culture through various mediums such as artist exhibitions, concerts, and opera collaborations makes it an invaluable asset. Attending the Chinese Lunar New Year event at Asia Society has become a tradition for me, and each year surpasses the previous one. The level of dedication and effort they put into this celebration is truly astounding. The Dragon Dance, in particular, captivates everyone, from kids to adults, making it both entertaining and educational. The event provides a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about their own culture through art, Asian cuisine, and engaging activities. The display of childrens artwork is a testament to the talent and creativity of the younger generation. Witnessing their creations adds an extra layer of joy and appreciation for the educational aspect of Asia Societys events. Furthermore, the Tiger Ball and other events hosted by Asia Society are exemplary, showcasing the centers commitment to creating diverse and meaningful experiences. Asia Society Texas Center has consistently proven itself to be a top-tier venue for any event dedicated to Asian culture. I highly recommend it and will continue to refer friends to join me at their various enriching events.
