Rothko Chapel

Dec 2023

Very nice environment to enjoy quiet contemplation. I go frequently on weekdays.You cannot bring in food or drinks. They will ask you to leave any drinks in the an area in the vestibule.No photography permitted (strictly adhered to).And no lying down to stare at ceiling, whether on bench, floor, or your own yoga mat.Very special place and I feel so lucky to have it as a local resource.

A beautiful and contemplative place. At first glance the paintings appear black, but shades and shapes emerge the longer you spend with them, as if out of mist. It provided a meditative inward experience as my mind wandered into the paintings.I appreciate the staff’s gentle reminders to be silent and technology free. Their stewardship maintains an experience that I found extremely valuable.

A lovely and contemplative space. I enjoyed falling into the subtle mist of the paintings and letting my mind wander over them. Appearing at first to be black, colors emerge slowly like eyes adjusting in a dark room, revealing blues, purples, reds. I appreciate that staff maintain the tranquility of the space by gently reminding people to keep silent and technology free. It is important to be able to find peace in silence without distractions and I'll be making a point of visiting this chapel on future trips to Houston.
