Visiting Texas: Modern Art Museums in Texas

Butterflies, if you’re a fan of art then you are definitely in for a treat. What I enjoy the most about a lot of the newer modern art museums is that the venues/spaces where the art is displayed is typically smaller and more intimate and the art is usually created by several different local artists; local artist deliver some of the most passionate pieces.
