The MFAH art collections, and the collections of the Museum’s Hirsch Library, inspired library assistant Shannon O’Quinn to come up with a trivia quiz.
Put your art knowledge to the test with her top five questions below. Then check back here on Friday, May 1, when she reveals the answers. Make it a friendly (virtual) competition by sharing with friends and family.
In the meantime, you can search the MFAH collections and MFAH libraries for art-related information of all kinds, from trivial to significant and beyond!
