Renowned for its integration of art, architecture and the sacred, the Rothko Chapel is an interfaith sanctuary that fosters dialogue and champions human rights.

The Rothko Chapel is located at 3900 Yupon Street at the corner of Sul Ross Street in the heart of Houston's museum district, four blocks west of Montrose Boulevard and one block south of West Alabama Street.

The Rothko Chapel, founded by Houston philanthropists John and Dominique de Menil, was dedicated in 1971 as an intimate sanctuary available to people of every belief. A tranquil meditative environment inspired by the mural canvases of Russian born American painter Mark Rothko, the Chapel welcomes over 60,000 visitors each year, people of every faith and from all parts of the world.
