Museum District Walk & Roll
Discover the Houston Museum District with Shara Fryer, retired Ch. 13/ABC news anchor, as she takes you on a lovely stroll through one of Houston's most beautiful neighborhoods and cultural meccas. You can either begin the tour in downtown and hop the METRORail to the Museum District or you can start directly in the Museum District. Meet a museum curator, an art school director, a dino-expert and a holocaust survivor. This wonderful overview will give you the lay of the land so you can explore on your own. Find an exhibit, a film or museum that inspires you; you'll always discover something new.
