Culturally, the Museum District contains such estimable galleries as the Museum of Fine Arts and the Houston Museum of Natural Science while downtown's Theater District hosts the biannual Bayou City Art Festival and other acclaimed performance events. Sports are a mainstay of Houston's community, with five professional teams, including MLB's Houston Astros and the NBA's Houston Rockets, calling the city home.
