Rice/Museum District
A walkable, historic district known locally as the Village is tucked in the heart of Houston. Between the oak-lined streets of the city's beautiful residences, its medical district, and the leafy trees of Rice University, the Village has remained an iconic landscape for shopping, dining, and discovery for generations. There are also live music venues, in addition to beauty salons, residences, and grocery outlets.
The Museum District is Houston’s cultural heart, with venues exploring subjects ranging from natural science to the African-American experience. The vast collection at the Museum of Fine Arts encompasses Egyptian antiquities, Impressionist art and American sculpture, while Houston Zoo is home to rhinos and cheetahs. Hermann Park is popular for its pedal boats and miniature railway, and also has a Japanese garden.
