Those who did not register for the Houston Museum of Culture Founders' Dinner by the Friday, February 10 deadline, but who are interested to be

part of Houston Museum of Culture activities for founders and advisors should plan to attend a dinner on March 31, where the topic will be:

Founders will have a vital role in planning and building the most provident institution for the future of the city and region.

The Houston Museum of Culture will join the family of excellent Houston museums to raise the level of awareness of the city and support for its cultural resources, helping Houston achieve an international reputation as the most visionary U.S. city.

As "a living museum about the ways we live," the Houston Museum of Culture will interpret the city, its people and experiences in a way that has never been done before. It will serve to achieve the highest quality of life for Houstonians through critical education programs, academic and community collaborations, the highest caliber of cultural arts, innovative exhibits and programs, and worthy entertainment.

Building on the city's phenomenal, though often under-appreciated history and diversity, the museum will look at our ways of life - past, present and future - in relationship to our arts, technologies, livelihoods, environment and other cultural influences.
