Rienzi - Salon at Sunset

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston’s house museum for European decorative arts, Rienzi sits on four acres of wooded gardens just three miles from Downtown Houston in the historic River Oaks neighborhood. Formerly the home of philanthropists Carroll Sterling Masterson and Harris Masterson III, Rienzi was designed by prominent Houston architect John Staub in 1952. Opened to the public in 1999, Rienzi houses a substantial collection of European decorative arts that includes paintings, furnishings, porcelain and miniatures. Visitors are invited to enjoy a variety of tours, family programs, lectures, concerts and special events throughout the year.
