Located in the heart of the Dallas Arts District, the museum has a stunning collection with more than 22,000 pieces, spanning the third millennium BC to present day, including ancient Mediterranean art, 18th-20th century European and American art and art of the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Artists on display include O'Keeffe, Pollock, Rothko, Warhol, Renoir, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Monet and more. They also have a Paintings Conservation Studio, where visitors can watch conservators preserve and restore the museum's extensive collection with the latest technology, treatments, and cutting-edge techniques.
In addition, the museum has lots of fun programming for kids of all ages, and after-hour events for adults that includes a lecture series with authors, poets and visionaries.
