One of my favorite places in Houston. A deep peaceful stillness in the middle of the city. Small circular building with a few huge modern paintings and some benches.
If you’re scared of your own thoughts… don’t go! :)

The Rothko Chapel is an incredible place—peaceful, moving, and beautifully maintained. Kelly Johnson is the best and was truly great to work with: professional, responsive, and thoughtful throughout. Highly recommend visiting and working with this team.

The Rothko Chapel is the Sistine Chapel of the US, a place to worship minimalist art and for non-denominational spiritual contemplation. The building and paintings are a masterpiece, the landscape architecture is calm and lovely. A must-visit masterpiece if you like contemporary art and architecture, or need a deep place to meditate. No photos inside - you need 5-10 minutes even for your eyes to adjust.
