When considering which American cities have the highest concentration of museums and cultural centres, Houston doesn't usually spring to mind. Known primarily as a centre for the oil and gas industry – though NASA's spectacular Lyndon B Johnson Space Center runs a close second – few would pick it as an important hub for culture and the arts. Yet visitors will find no shortage of options in a city of more than 150 institutions, including some world-class museums that rank among the largest and most visited in North America.
