On my visit I quietness at the premises, then I took some pictures outside the museum after which I proceeded to the entrance into the museum. I met a lady at the desk who welcomed me; I approached her, and relate to her my mission. The gallery attendant walked me through the highlights of the exhibition. Initially, I was told not to enter into the Rebecca Cole gallery area due to the reason that a table lamb’s light has been removed, but was later allowed in to see the “France: Northwest Houston Collects”, an exhibition in memory of Winthrop Wyman.
