Dallas Museum of Art
Arts District · Dallas, Texas
The Dallas Museum of Art is the cultural anchor of the Dallas Arts District and one of the largest art museums in the United States, with an encyclopedic collection of 24,000 works spanning 5,000 years of world art and cultures across every inhabited continent. The collection's strengths include exceptional pre-Columbian holdings, significant European paintings, decorative arts from across the globe, and a growing contemporary collection reflecting Dallas's increasingly international cultural ambitions. Free general admission — a policy that distinguishes the DMA from most major American art museums — ensures that this extraordinary collection remains genuinely accessible to the full diversity of Dallas's population.
