MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS HOUSTON MILITARY PROGRAM - May 28 - September 6

Memorial Day weekend sounds free rein all summer
long for military families at MFAH

Attention soldiers: It's culture time. In a
partnership with 600 art institutions, the
<http://culturemap.com/mapdetail/museum-fine-arts-houston/>Museum
of Fine Arts, Houston has announced the launch of
Blue Star Museums, an initiative with the
National Endowment for the Arts to offer free
admission to all active duty military personnel
and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day 2010.

So that military families can take advantage of
Memorial Day weekend, the MFAH will begin the
program earlier, on Friday, May 28. The
opportunity also extends to the MFAH's two house
museums, Bayou Bend and Rienzi.

"The MFAH joins museums around the country to
thank military staff for their service," museum director Peter Marzio said.

Military families can now easily explore
significant summer exhibitions, such as a
retrospective of "cowboy artist"

Russell, opening June 6, and an "exquisite"
exhibition of

Yasuhiro's photographs of Katsura, an imperial
retreat in Japan, unveiling June 20. Summer
months at the museum abound with family
activities, so this initiative is particularly timely.

National Endowment for the Arts chairman Rocco
Landesman said, "America's museums are proud to
join the rest of the country in thanking our
military personnel and their families for their
service and sacrifice. I cannot imagine a better
way to do that than welcoming them in to explore
and enjoy the extraordinary cultural heritage our museums present.

"The works of art on view this summer will
inspire and challenge viewers, and sometimes they
will just be a great deal of fun."
