The Houston Zoo's new African Forest exhibit:

There is not a rendering for the Houston Fine Arts Museum expansion yet, but three architects have been chosen and they will submit their designs sometime this year. Pretty cool stuff going on in the Museum District area. New museums, museum expansions, and now residential development is starting to take off in the area along the light rail line. It's a good location in between Downtown and the TMC/Reliant.
WOW! That rendering almost looks like the new Giants of the Savanna exhibit in Dallas.

Children's Aquarium at Fair Park

For the past few years, the aquarium has been closed as it took a 8 million renovation. The aquarium reopened this year.

They should just make Fair Park our Museum District because it has a lot of museums.

still don't like it. Dunno, it doesn't seem as cozy to me as something you would find in one of our arts districts.

Maybe it is the surroundings that is the problem. Looks like something you might stop at during a road trip. Or it looks like a bombed Ikea
It would have looked better next to the Houston Museum of Contemporay Art or the Jung Center

Suck on that.
