Much like the wide expanse of land that comprises the
metropolis, Houston’s diverse ethnic background provides a wealth
of exciting cultural opportunities and exploits. This diversity extends
to the distinction of being home to NASA as well as world-famous rodeos.
Culturally, the Museum District contains such estimable galleries as the
Museum of Fine Arts and the Houston Museum of Natural Science while downtown’s
Theater District hosts the biannual Bayou City Art Festival and other
acclaimed performance events. Sports are a mainstay of Houston’s
community, with five professional teams, including MLB’s Houston
Astros and the NBA’s Houston Rockets, calling the city home.
