The Menil Collection is one of the places I ALWAYS take out of town guests. Everyone I have taken there has loved it! The atmosphere is great and the art is fun and funky and ethnic. It is small enough that you can get through the whole museum in a few hours, or you can just spend an hour to so there going through one of the collections. When you are finished at the museum, head over to the Rothko chapel for some meditation - it's just a short walk away!
