Tickets & Admissions for MFAH Films
The MFAH Films box office accepts payment by cash and credit card. Tickets may be purchased in advance in three ways: online, via ticket links on mfah.org/calendar or mfah.org/film pages; in the MFAH lobbies during Museum hours; at the box office prior to screenings.
The box office opens an hour before showtime. In order to allow as many people as possible to be seated on time, staff may need to refrain from printing multiple advance tickets within the hour of a posted film screening.
