Our Heart and Soul

In the heart of Houston, The Health Museum strives to foster curiosity about the human body, medical science, and overall health and wellness. Through plentiful exhibits, they hope to inspire and promote healthier living among kids and adults.

Not only is this museum a great place to learn about common sicknesses and how our body functions, but this facility also introduces medical sciences to kids.
