Mile 14 ... Unknown Territory

Sunday at the Museum

The Museum of Fine Arts is one of my favorite places to enjoy a free day in Houston. Since you open its doors, it's inevitable to feel how the Architectonic flow lets you enjoy the main exhibit throughout all the journey of the place.

Otherwise it's almost impossible to be outside.
