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.
Had a really enjoyable time here! This isn't the largest or most extensive modern sculpture museum, but it's very well put together - indoor spaces are really airy and unexpectedly open for a museum...
I enjoyed the lawn exhibits, but was not impressed with the downstairs exhibit that was on display. I was so unimpressed that I do not even recall the artist's name.
We reluctantly paid $10 per person but only spent 30 minutes perusing the sculptures both inside and outside as this is a very small space. The garden outside is at least somewhat more interesting...
