The Menil Collection

Named after Dominque de Menil, one of the greatest art collectors of the 20th Century, the Menil Collection is impressive. It houses an enormous private collection where the artwork is shown on a rotating basis because it is too numerous to show at once. Most of the collection is of modern works with an emphasis on surrealism, but African art and works from the Byzantine period are also displayed. Some of the artists whose works are featured here include Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, and Jackson Pollock.
