KIDS + FAMILIES

Sundays in July Inspire Young Authors and Artists at Rienzi’s Weekly Family Art Workshops.   Join in one or all three Family Art Workshops that lead children through a creative journey, authoring a short story (July 12), creating an illustrated art book (July 19), and animating a story through puppetry (July 26).

Opened to the public in 1999, Rienzi is the center for European decorative arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Comprising a remarkable art collection, a house, and gardens, Rienzi was given to the museum by arts patrons Carroll Sterling Masterson and Harris Masterson III.

This handsome residence, named for Rienzi Johnston, Mr. Masterson's grandfather, is situated on 4.4 acres in Homewood Addition, surrounded by Houston's River Oaks neighborhood. The structure was designed in 1952 by John F. Staub, the same architect who designed Bayou Bend.

Recommended for ages 6-12. Admission is $5 for adults, free for children 12 and under. Please call (713) 639-7800 to reserve your spot.
