Ray Nasher, who developed NorthPark, the first-class mall for people who can't stomach malls, built an incredible collection of 20th Century sculpture during his life. Then he founded this Center, with a sumptuous Renzo Piano designed structure for its display. The light-filled galleries are perfect showcases for the collection and curated shows of contemporary artists. Most of the space is... More

This is a wonderful collection of beautiful sculptures, collected by the Nasher couple. Also impressive was to see the short movie about their lives and their reasons for collecting all these beautiful art works.

The Nasher Sculpture Center was very interesting. It's a lot smaller than I expected, though with a huge variety of pieces, but very calming and a pretty day. We visited when the Neto pieces were on display which was lots of fun, but on a normal day it is probably more for artists, not just the everyday visitor.
