Dallas Museum of Art
About This Museum
Did you know the DMA's collection is so vast that if you spent just one minute with each of its 24,000+ objects, it would take you nearly 17 days of non-stop viewing? It’s this incredible, encyclopedic scope that first pulled me in. You can start your morning marveling at a delicate ancient Greek amphora and end it standing before a monumental Jackson Pollock drip painting. The sheer range is breathtaking, connecting cultures and centuries under one roof.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the stunning Wendy and Emery Reves Collection, which recreates their French villa filled with works by Degas and Renoir. And I always get lost in the brilliant colors of the contemporary galleries, where a massive tondo by Kehinde Wiley absolutely commands the room.
Visitor Information
Here's the best part: general admission is completely free. It's right in the heart of the Arts District, so you can easily make a day of it, maybe popping over to the symphony or a nearby sculpture garden afterwards.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a striking mix of beige limestone and modern glass, feeling both grand and inviting. I love how the barrel-vaulted entrance opens up into this bright, airy atrium—it really sets the stage for what's inside.
