Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston Insider Tips

• The museum abides by the schedule of the university and is therefore closed during the school's holiday periods. You can find the University of Houston's holiday schedule here.
• Try to visit on a Saturday to make the most of free parking.
• If visiting during the week, try to arrive with ample time before classes start (around 30 to 45 minutes) as the parking situation around the University of Houston campus is often problematic once the students are in class.
• Arrange a tour before your visit by using the museum's website.
