17 Best Things to Do in Houston

"The stainless steel Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) is prominently situated in the Houston Museum District and is always free, making it popular with just about everyone, from visitors doing a quick loop of the rotating exhibitions to more experienced art enthusiasts. This is a non-collecting museum, so its two floors house rotating exhibitions that showcase a mix of international artists and regional works. Unlike other behemoths in the Museum District, the scope here is more narrow and approachable—and perfect to absorb in a single visit." - Charu Suri
