Location

Museum District Station is a light rail station on the METRORail Red Line in Houston, Texas (USA). It serves the Houston Museum District.[1] According to METRO, there are fourteen museums within four blocks of the Museum District Station.[2]

It is the only METRORail Red Line station where northbound and southbound trains each have their own platforms on opposite one-way, parallel streets (located on San Jacinto Street and Fannin Street respectively near their intersections with Binz Street), and, prior to the construction of the METRORail Green and Purple lines, was the only METRORail station to have such a configuration. Since 2015, the Theater District,  Central (Capitol/Rusk), and Convention District stations have also implemented this platform configuration.
