Houston Museum District - Area Information
Houston's Museum District is a loosely defined area, situated southwest of Downtown Houston and clustering mostly around the Mecom Fountain at the intersection of Main Street and Montrose Boulevard.
Some proposed boundaries for the area are Highway 288 to the east, Texas Medical Center or Harmann Park to the south, and Interstate 69 or Alabama Street in the north. Other measures put it anywhere within 1.5 miles of Mecom Fountain.
Whatever the case, the Museum District is only minutes from the downtown area, and nearby roadways give quick access to outlying regions as well. The area scores highly for biking and walking, and a number of MetroRail stops dot the area for added accessibility.
