Founders will have a vital role in planning and building the most provident institution for the future of the city and region. [Download an Overview and Information for Founders]

The Houston Museum of Culture will join the family of excellent Houston museums to raise the level of awareness of the city and support for its cultural resources, helping Houston achieve an international reputation as the most visionary U.S. city.

As "a living museum about the ways we live," the Houston Museum of Culture will interpret the city, its people and experiences in a way that has never been done before. It will serve to achieve the highest quality of life for Houstonians through critical education programs, academic and community collaborations, the highest caliber of cultural arts, innovative exhibits and programs, and worthy entertainment.

Building on the city's phenomenal, though often under-appreciated history and diversity, the museum will look at our ways of life - past, present and future - in relationship to our arts, technologies, livelihoods, environment and other cultural influences.
