The Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park is one of Houston’s most beloved and iconic landmarks and community centerpieces for visitors of all ages to create endless memories with friends and family. As one of the most visited attractions, you get to experience what it's like to stand in the waterfall’s mist and be enveloped by the gentle roar of the cascading water. You can also walk along the lush canopy of towering live oak trees while in the core of one of the largest business districts in the nation.
Glenwood Cemetery is one of Houston's historic landmarks that accommodates some of the most delightful statues and impressive landscapes that rival those of many arboretums, making it the perfect place for a quiet refuge and peaceful meditation amid inspiring natural beauty. Glenwood also provides a place for families, visitors, and community members to gather and host events, such as educational seminars, and is a place to research and connect with history. Many prominent Texans from the days of the Republic until the present are buried here, and the names on the elaborately carved marble and granite will remind you of the rich heritage.

The permanent collection highlights Arts of Africa, the Americas and the Pacific Northwest, the Ancient World, the Pacific Islands, Drawing, Medieval and Byzantine, Modern and Contemporary, Surrealism, and the permanent installation entitled Witnesses.
