Free shuttles, free fun, Saturday September 12 in the Houston Museum District.
Last year, Ike rained on our parade, but in 2009 we're back and better than ever

Fourteen museums will waive their general admission fee to offer the community the opportunity to enjoy the District's diverse displays of art, science, nature and history.

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.
