Getting there

Know before you go

• Book tickets online in advance, especially on weekends, as time slots can sell out.
• Bring a camera or phone – the rooms are designed for photos, but no professional equipment (tripods, lights) allowed without permission.
• Wear comfortable shoes and clothes you can move in – you'll be walking and posing in various settings.
• Large bags and backpacks may need to be stored in lockers (available on site) to keep the rooms clutter-free.

A bit of history

TFTI (Thanks For The Invite) was founded in Houston as a pop-up concept before becoming a permanent interactive museum. It opened in the Galleria in 2019, joining a growing trend of immersive art spaces in the city. The museum was created by local artists and entrepreneurs aiming to provide a fun, shareable experience.
