Very good museum. Price: Main exhibits were free. There were three special collections, for $10-20 each. Onsite parking was $20. I enjoyed the Americas exhibits on the 4th floor. There was plenty of interesting explanation next to the pieces, except for a few spots where you had to get info from a book or tablet. I liked how the museum provided cultural context for why certain art is the way it is. The 3rd and 2nd floor have art representing several world regions. Again, I liked how the museum provided context. There is a small exhibit devoted to art restoration. The 1st floor contained the special exhibits, which I did not visit. Navigating was a bit difficult, but the staff is helpful. I found myself backtracking to places I had skipped. I would suggest looking at everything in each small section before moving on to the next room. I spent a couple of hours, with the most time on the Americas.

My wife and I had a couple of hours before heading to the airport for our flight. We decided to visit the Dallas Art Museum. The main exhibits were free though there is a parking fee of $20. We enjoyed the Americas exhibit the most. The Greco-Roman and Egyptian collections were much less robust than the northeastern museums but had a nice cross section of various types of art. Overall, it was a good museum and we enjoyed our time.

I went to DMA 1st Sundays and it was amazing! I did not get to every floor because there is so much to see. Art is very diverse and was breathtaking! Will return soon. The cafe was cool, sat out and enjoyed people watching. 10/10 highly recommend!

This is a very nice museum. The two shows that were on while we were visiting were excellent and we also enjoyed the permanent collection of American art. They have a nice gift shop, but I found the prices even higher than most art museums. We didn’t have trouble finding parking on the street at a meter on a Sunday. I can’t speak for parking the rest of the time and we couldn’t find the underground garage for the museum despite driving around the block twice. The Nasher Sculpture garden is a huge pass.

I was looking for something to do while I had break in my work schedule. The Dallas Museum of Art is just a short walk from the massive downtown Marriott. An exhibition of the Impressionists (runs through 11.03.24) was just the ticket to go for short walk in the sun. The show was well-thought out by telling the story of the period when these artists were outliers in the French art scene. I also enjoyed the gold art from pre-Columbian cultures and the stories behind it. Do yourself a favor, go for short walk if you'e downtown, enjoy some art and clear your head.

If you are a museum buff, this is a good museum to visit while in Dallas. It has well curated collection of European, Asian, Latin American exhibits. It also holds special exhibits. We were lucky to catch the Impressionists Revolution from Monet to Matisse & Islamic Art while we were there. It has a cafe & a gift shop as well.

The Dallas Museum of Art feels like a hidden treasure in the heart of the city. The collection is vast, spanning ancient to modern art, but it never feels overwhelming. I love how accessible it is—general admission is free, inviting everyone to explore. The space is open, full of light, and easy to wander, with something surprising around every corner. It’s the kind of place you can visit again and again, and always discover something new.
