If you’re like me, you are OVERWHELMED with number photo installations Houston has popping up everywhere! They are so fun, but it’s hard to keep track of when they are here until, where, how much it costs to get in, and what to expect.
Scroll through the list — from open now to coming soon! And don’t worry. We’ll be here to update this post should we get another one in town!
Note: Some of these have closed since this story originally ran, but we update the post as that happens! Scroll to the bottom to see the ones that have closed.
The Color Factory
This one might be my favorite in Houston! While not based here originally, The Color Factory really tapped into Houston! They created a color scheme for the city, and it’s the first thing you see when you walk in. Those colors are featured throughout the exhibit! The experience is like if you merged an art gallery with a children’s museum!
