You enter most art museums expecting to see paint on canvas and marble shapes into figures and forms, but Bayou Bend is something unique. Once a mansion, it’s still expansive and copper-roofed as it once was, but has been converted into a museum for the decorative arts. You will see crafts and furniture, styles of decoration that vary by the room. The gardens are gorgeous as well, a controlled wildness.
