The 7 Best Museums in Oak Lawn, 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.

4. The Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum : The Samurai Collection

This is a small but truly excellent collection! One could tour this collection while spending time in the downtown area visiting other attractions as well. All interesting pieces, I found the pieces for horses especially interesting. In addition, they have a “sedan chair” which is really small. I would be claustrophic if I had to ride in it. They also had a nice reading room that included a video on the making of a sword and case. This exhibit does not take very long but it is worth it!
