Our museum halls can get crowded on the weekends, during our free hours on Tuesdays, during holidays (especially Spring Break), and during the summer. During weekdays in the spring, the halls may be crowded with school groups visiting on field trips. The best times to visit are right when the museum opens (9:00 a.m.) during the week, especially on Mondays. If you have any questions about how busy the museum is, you can call 713-639-4629 to speak with a representative from our Visitor Services Department.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that events and facility rentals are a frequent occurrence at HMNS. If you are visiting towards the end of the day, catering may be setting up in certain areas in the museum. The Morian Overlook on the 2nd Floor of the museum is a popular rental space for luncheons and\/or evening events. Please note that this area may be closed to the public depending on the day that you visit.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"guideline\"><div class=\"guideline-title\">Planning your Visit<\/div><div class=\"guideline-content\"><p>Download our Access HMNS app to use before, during, or after your visit.

Find laminated versions of these resources to check out at Museum Services, located inside the main entrance of the Permanent Exhibit Halls.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that our Sensory Guide evaluates loud noises and extreme quiet with equal high sound rating. In the same way, extreme dark and extreme light are evaluated with equal high visual stimulation ratings.
