Visit one of Chattanooga's treasures with a friend! Tickets for two to the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts. Included is a copy of Always Paddle Your Own Canoe - The Life, Legend and Legacy of Anna Safley Houston, whose collection belongs today to the Houston Museum.

While the Fine Arts provide us with aesthetic pleasure, the Decorative Arts elevate everyday and utilitarian objects, into an art form. Decorative Arts give us a sense of beauty beyond practicality and allow us to enrich our lives with simplicity and craftsmanship.

Decorative Arts could be described as things we choose to live and surround ourselves with and include ceramics, textiles, metals, wood, paper and yes, glass.

The Houston collection will astound and amaze, not by just its sheer volume but it’s beauty. Visit the museum to view thousands of awe inspiring objects of the Anna Safley Houston collection.
