Check times online to avoid disrupting services ⚠️. 🗺️ Location & Logistics 📍 Address: Malloy Hall, 1018 W Alabama St, Houston (near MFAH , Galleria Mall , and the Water Wall 🌊—perfect for a day of art/shopping/Instagramming!). 🚗 Parking: Official: Moran Parking Center (3807 Graustark St) for $10 💲.
