More than 26 million visitors each year seek the dynamic & fine shopping environment uniquely offered by The Galleria, Texas’ largest shopping center and fourth largest domain nationally. International guests and Houstonians blend seamlessly in the center while on shopping excursions or entertaining guests at one of the signature eateries.

This is the epicenter of shopping, walking and people watching in Houston. From great shopping, high end art galleries to ice skating, the Galleria is a great place to see and visit. Due to its popularity, the parking lots fill up quickly, especially in the holiday season. Get there as early as you can and preferably right before it opens to get a good parking spot. The Metro bus# 82 goes east and west by the Galleria and connects to many other bus lines around Houston. This is a must see and visit place in Houston and I highly recommend it,

Houston Center for Contemporary Craft

Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC) is a nonprofit arts organization founded to advance education about the process, product and history of craft. HCCC serves as an important cultural and educational resource for Houston and the Southwest-one of the few venues in the country dedicated exclusively to craft at the highest level. The organization provides exhibition, sales and studio spaces to support the work of local and national artists and offers mission-related educational programs in schools and underserved communities. HCCC is funded in part by grants from The Brown Foundation; Houston Endowment, Inc.; the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance; Texas Commission on the Arts; the National Endowment for the Arts; the Kinder Foundation; the Morgan Foundation; Windgate Charitable Foundation; and the Wortham Foundation.

I loved this little museum and highly recommend it. Although it is quite small, it had fine examples of basketry, fiber art, pottery, metal work, jewelry, photography, and sculpture. There is even some Native American Indian Art. A few pieces make political statements, the best (in my opinion) being the one on the Boko Haram kidnappings, with photos of the missing girls on the inside, and news from that time on the outside of this large structure. After visiting the main exhibit rooms we walked around the hallways to see the art work of last year's resident artists. The pottery was my favorite, and it was gorgeous! Do not miss this gem of a museum if you love crafts!

I believe this is now called the Moody Center For The Arts, so it doesn't stand out on Tripadvisor, (and to be honest within Houston it doesn't stand out, it is a bit of a trek to come here!). However I had a very friendly welcome and a good time. The Laurie Anderson and Hsin-Chien Huang VR artwork made a great impression on me. It was very different but really powerful. It was an amazing piece of art.
