I brought my 10 year old and 6 year old here and both of them found activities to enjoy, We didn't even get close to seeing everything here as the kids immediately found a room to create their own original art pieces and this is where we spent a majority of our time.
Despite the lack of very significant art pieces like major art museums around the world, i enjoyed myself very much with the art pieces.They also have clear information and additional information of the period and the art piece. Which helps people who are not well versed in arts like me to understand art better. I applaud them for their good job.Must visit in my opinion.
Wow! We were surprised to learn this museum is free (accepts donations). We showed up when then opened on Sunday (11 am), and there were a handful of people waiting outside to be let in. We only had an hour and 15 minutes, so we wandered the downstairs exhibits, including an impressionist exhibit (they had Renoir and Monet), a contemporary art exhibit, and an amazing exhibit celebrating 2 asian artists. There were many volunteers ready and willing to help and we enjoyed all the exhibits and the museum shop had some unique books & gifts. It's a great stop, especially since it's free - so it's easy to wander around for a bit without having the pressure of "getting your money's worth" by seeing all the exhibits!
Wide variety of art - native American, early American, Asian, modern. Fun visit - free admissions - only volunteer donations. They have a few select pieces, eg Edward Hopper, Copeland portraits, worth seeking out (4th floor). The parking garage was full when we got there (Friday of spring break week) and the attendant had no ideas of where else we could go. But there is all kinds of metered parking on the roads around the Museum, 50 minutes for 25 cents - less than a dollar for a nice visit. Good rest rooms and decent café. Great stop on a cool, cloudy day.
Beautiful facility, nicely curated collections; terrific museum visit in limited time--will have to return to see the rest of it. There are 4 levels; we started at top floor, planned to work our way down. We had 2 hours and a bit before flight home and only managed to really see the fourth floor where American artists' works were displayed. We quickly skimmed through 3rd floor where Asian and African art was displayed. We will definitely return to see the rest of it and devote more time. Saw many families visiting too. Free admission was a pleasant surprise.
This is an amazing place with so much to see. We parked under the museums for $10 which was fine because the museum is free. The different assortment of art was amazing. We could have stayed all day. My daughter go to see some art from what she is studying at school. We had lunch there which was not too expensive. The food was good and the folks behind the counter were friendly and efficient. We walked across the street and had fun at a park where there were tons of food trucks were parked. Kids enjoyed a snow-cone before we left. The museum is a must see!
Fun for children, as them completing tasks can get you free parking or other rewards. It consists of a plethora of artwork, containing an organized separation system, as they separate it by time period and region of the world.
The Dallas Museum of Art has a passion for displaying creativity in a variety of time periods. The museum brings to life the culture and history of the past. There are four floors of paintings, pottery, glass and even era furniture. Since the museum is free take time for the gift shop to bring home a living memory.
Monstrous museum over 4 floors. A bit for everyone's taste. Has the bouquets exhibit so lovely works from the masters.
Entrance is free, except for special exhibits. They had a great exhibit on flowers, with many from the great Impressionists. The rest of the collection is large and well rounded and well worth a couple hours of visit.
