Mark your calendars
for this unforgettable evening!
This year’s event honors philanthropist and community leader Ralph B. Thomas. A member of the Museum Board of Directors for over a decade, Ralph has been an instrumental and extraordinary part of the museum’s growth and success for many years. And the positive impact he has had on the Houston community as both a philanthropist and community advocate is immeasurable.
We invite you to join us at our annual gala on November 14, 2025, filled with the color and flair of Paris fashion, food, art, and culture as we pay tribute to the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII and the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War.
