Some interesting and varied exhibits on two floors and well worth a visit. Its free to look around but deserves a donation. Close to Klyde Warren park for a bite to eat from the trucks.
We went to the museum this past Sunday, so many things were closed or under renovation. The art we saw was nice, but for such a huge facility we were expecting a whole lot more to view.
Definitely, a must-see while in Dallas! Lots of great art pieces and scenic views! Also, mostly free but it also has some paid options and exhibits.
