John CortésFebruary 18, 2013There is a great energy here, fall into the paintings with an easy eye and breath, they know the nature of reality, the borders dissolve and the purple envelopes, just as the façade of what we seeUpvoted Mar 22
Rebecca RaiaMarch 5, 2017The Rothko Chapel is a must in Houston, even if you can only stop by for a few minutes. It's in an interesting neighborhood and you should definitely walk around the chapel and explore.
AndrewAugust 12, 2015This place is quiet enough that I can hear my heart beating in my ears. It goes from meditative to unnerving really fast.
Rebeca MuñozOctober 4, 2016The neighborhood it's so weird and quiet. The chapel is between houses. The paintings are so great, the place inside it's really relaxing and calm.Upvoted Mar 13- Miriam GoldmanJuly 28, 2017An art chapel that feels like a real place of worship. A fantastic place to meditate or write.
JK Karabaic2 weeks agoThere are 12 black rectangles around the walls, and 3 stones in front of one wall. I didn't measure the proportions on the rectangles, but they seemed 4 x 3.- JK Karabaic2 weeks agoThe skylight is divided into 12 parts, like a clock face, and the frame around it into 8 parts, like a compass. These are all factored into the first 4 natural numbers: 1 x 2 x 4 = 8, 1 x 3 x 4 = 12.
Adam GordonDecember 26, 2018This is a good place to reflect. Nice little place. They wouldn’t allow photos inside, though.

CultureMap HoustonJuly 14, 2011Contemplation and action are Rothko Chapel’s dual vocations and the program offerings reflect both. Have you tried one of the noon-time meditations?
magnolfiFebruary 26, 2010Come here on a cloudy windy day and watch the light change on the paintings..
I don't ever go inside. Just sit outside by the pool
