Dear George,
The first of the two building additions Mies van der Rohe
undertook for the Museum of Fine Arts-Houston is shown on the top postcard picture. The free-span exhibition space was named Cullinan Hall and the interior space with all the works of art was fully visible from the adjacent street.

The second postcard is a picture of the Brown Pavilion that was built in front of the Cullinan Hall 16 years later to serve as a new entrance lobby, exhibition gallery and auditorium.
This is the only curved building built by Mies and one of the two Museums he realized.
Best wishes.
