    Bring your children (ages 4-12) for FREE, fun and interactive summer Storytime Tours at Rienzi, the European Decorative Arts Collection and Gardens of the MFAH. Tours introduce children to the magic of art and literature in an intimate house museum setting. Rienzi´s Storytime Tour is a fun and interactive activity featuring stories related to works of art.

    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.

    Storytime Tours at Rienzi are free and offered every Wednesday in June and July. Call for reservations at 713-639-7800.
