Dallas Museum of Art

Though the Dallas Museum of Art was established in 1903, the massive 370,000-square-foot location designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes and positioned in the burgeoning Arts District did not become the museum's permament home until 1984. With over 24,000 pieces of art from American, Africa, Indonesia, South Asia, and Europe, visitors find plenty of works to enjoy from a variety of cultures. In addition, the DMA hosts almost a dozen special exhibits throughout the year, so even if you have been before, there is always a new reason to go back.
