Open since October 2003, the Nasher Sculpture Center is home to one of the finest collections of modern and contemporary sculptures in the world. The Center, which was designed by Prizker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, is located on a 2-acre in the heart of the Dallas Arts District. The museum was a long-held dream of the late Raymond and Patsy Nasher, who together formed a comprehensive collection of masterpieces by Calder, de Kooning, di Suvero, Giacometti, Hepworth, Kelly, Matisse, Miro, Moore, Picasso, Rodin, and Serra, among others, which continues to grow and evolve. On display in the Galleries and Garden are rotating exhibitions of works from the Nasher Collection as well as special exhibitions drawn from other museums and private collections.
I don't know much about sculptures but was definitely intrigued by the art. Myself and some friends wanted to explore downtown Dallas and stumbled across this impressive beauty. Food was ok, but that...
Small museum that punches above its weight. Clever art that challenges you, which good art should always do! The gift-shop is quite good, curated and worth a pop-in on your way out.
We were very disappointed by this visit. We saw more sculptures at other venues in Dallas. You should skip this one.
