The Menil Collection, located in Houston, Texas, refers to either a museum housing the art collection of founders John de Menil and Dominique de Menil or to the collection itself, which includes approximately 17,000 paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, photographs, and rare books.

While most of the collection is once-private, Menil Foundation, Inc. is a tax-exempt, nonprofit, public charity corporation formed under Internal Revenue Code Section 501. The Menil also receives public funds from the City of Houston, the State of Texas, and the federal government via the National Endowment for the Arts.

The museum’s collection is diverse, including works by Yves Tanguy, René Magritte, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, and Pablo Picasso from the early to mid-twentieth century.

The museum also has a large collection of pop and contemporary art by Andy Warhol, Mark Rothko, Robert Rauschenberg, Vija Celmins, and Cy Twombly, Jr. Antiquities and Byzantine works of Medieval and tribal art are also part of the museum’s permanent collection.
