Rothko Chapel
Nondenominational space filled with Rothko artwork
About
Open Tuesday through Sunday with varied hours, Rothko Chapel fits into a contemplative afternoon or a quiet evening visit in Houston's Montrose neighborhood. This nondenominational space houses 14 commissioned Mark Rothko paintings, whose nearly black canvases with hints of purple create a meditative atmosphere. The monochromatic interior and the volume of the room work together to encourage reflection. It's an architectural and artistic experience worth seeing.

“Giving Pause”
This museum space is dedicated to nearly all-black paintings (with some purple tones) by famous US artist Mark Rothko. The combination of the monochrome interior and the large room creates an odd push toward calm and reflection. I'm not religious or spiritual, so one or two visits were enough to experience it, but it's definitely worth a stop.
