Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens

Part of the Museum of Fine Arts, this collection showcases American 17th, 18th, and 19th century decorative arts with over 4,800 objects of furniture, ceramics, silver, paper, glass, textiles and paintings.

The collection is located in Bayou Bend, the former estate of Ima Hogg, daughter of a Texas governor. Items in the collection include a silver sugar bowl created by Paul Revere, colonial portraits by John Singleton Copley and Charles Willson Peale, and furniture by Duncan Phyfe.

Behind the home, the 14-acre gardens are divided into eight areas ranging from a formal garden to a butterfly garden.

Location: 1 Westcott St.
