Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston

The starkness of the metal building was our first hint at the modern art collection that this museum contained. The Museum's building itself is a striking landmark in Houston's cultural district. This distinctive metal building (Gunnar Birkerts, 1972) focuses on international art created within the past four decades.

Located in walking distance of other attractions in the Houston Museum District, the building features a changing display of modern art. An unusually tight focus on the past 40 years allows the CAM to explore its speciality in great detail.

Changing exhibits ensure that the galleries remain fresh and provocative to museum regulars as well as the casual visitor.

Our latest visit exposed us to the work of Maya Lin, designer of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The museum does not have a permanent collection but instead features changing exhibitions by artists including Nic Nicosia, Peter Shelton and Ernesto Neto.

Location: 5216 Montrose in Houston Museum District.
