Dallas Arts District
Arts District
One of the largest contiguous urban arts districts in the US, home to works by several Pritzker Prize-winning architects, along with museums and theaters.
The Arts District covers about 19 blocks, roughly 27 hectares, northeast of downtown. It is home to the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Crow Museum of Asian Art, as well as I. M. Pei's Meyerson Symphony Center, Norman Foster's Winspear Opera House and Rem Koolhaas's Wyly Theatre, which earns it the nickname 'architecture museum.' Most museums are free or low-cost. You can link the district with Klyde Warren Park for a one-day walking route. Free events and evening openings are held monthly, and during the performance season you can see symphony, opera and ballet.
