Dallas Museum of Art

The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) is one of the largest art museums in the United States and the anchor of the Dallas Arts District, the downtown neighborhood that also holds the Meyerson Symphony Center, the Nasher Sculpture Center and the AT&T Performing Arts Center. The museum sits on North Harwood Street at the western edge of Klyde Warren Park.

The DMA’s collection spans thousands of years of art from around the world, including ancient Mediterranean, African, Asian and Indigenous American works, European painting and sculpture, decorative arts and design, and a large contemporary collection. The museum also mounts rotating special exhibitions throughout the year.

Visitors reserve general admission in advance, and special exhibitions require a separate reservation. DMA members reserve free tickets to every exhibition. The museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the Tower Gallery on Level 4 offers a family-friendly space for snacks and bottle feeding.

The DMA runs programs for families, schools and adult learners, along with talks, performances and late-night events. For ticket questions, the Guest Services line is (214) 922-1803, and current hours and exhibitions are posted on the museum’s website.
