The 10 Best Art Museums in Dallas, Texas (TX)
You may have all heard that everything is bigger in Texas. Well, Dallas does its best to fulfill that promise. You'll find several museums with vast art collections and fascinating specialty museums like The Sixth Floor Museum/Texas School Book Depository, which, though small in size, offers an immense amount of information about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. And of course, visit a local steakhouse for a terrific (and enormous) meal.

I went with my siblings and knew there was a lot of interesting places in here to take cool pictures. I thought it would be bigger but it wasn’t bad! All the rooms were so unique. I loved the little hidden-under-staircase area (not sure what to call it) I LOVED the secret room. I felt like I could stay there forever. The music, colors, everything was so soothing in there. I want to go back to see how they updated the room -OG

My husband and I recently attended the Dior Late Night event which was from 7pm-9(ish). It was our first time attending one of their Late Night showings. They have these often when great exhibitions are displayed. It was such a great Date Night, roaming the museum after hours. Before the museum we listened to jazz music in the lobby and sipped on some wine. You can definitely make an evening here at the museum with your loved one (or group of friends). Dress code for Late Night is up to you! I went semi-dressed while there was a mix of casual and dressed.

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.

In the SMU campus near the south end main drive lies an exquisite architectural gem, with small galleries, primarily sustained by the Meadows family foundation, exhibiting unique collections of Spanish artists. This spring small paintings by Salvadore Dali were shown. Delightful, educational and small enough to be a delightful learning experience
