Six Fun Things to Do in the Dallas Arts District 

Klyde Warren Park 

Have you ever strolled in an urban park that is built on top of a freeway? Most likely not, but you can when you head for Klyde Warren Park in downtown Dallas. In a short amount of time, this 5-acre park, built above Woodall Rodgers Freeway, has become one of the top attractions in the city. Whether you check out a book, magazine, or board game from the lending library, or order some gourmet cuisine from the dozens of food trucks, listen to live music, or just partake in some world-class people-watching. 

Nasher Sculpture Center 

Considered one of the best collections of sculpture in the world, the Nasher Sculpture Center features more than 300 modern sculptures from great artists like Gormley, Matisse, Miró, Picasso, and Rodin. It is renowned for its block-long outdoor sculpture garden. 

Crow Museum of Asian Art 

Aficionados of Asian art are fascinated by the Crow Museum of Asian Art.  According to the museum’s website, “It is one of only a handful of museums in the country dedicated solely to the arts and cultures of Japan, China, India, and Southeast Asia. During your visit, you will see jade ornaments from China, delicate Japanese scrolls, and a rarely seen 2-by-28-foot sandstone façade of an 18^th-century Indian residence.” 

Dallas Museum of Art 

A must-stop on any day trip to the Dallas Arts District is the world-famous Dallas Museum of Art. The museum has more than 22,000 pieces spanning the third millennium BC to the present day, including works from O'Keeffe, Pollock, Warhol, Monet, and a new exhibit from Jonas Wood. This is his first major solo exhibit that traces his fascination with psychology, memory, and the self. The price of admission is family-friendly. It’s free! 

AT&T Performing Arts Center 

One of the best-kept secrets of the Dallas Arts scene is the AT&T Performing Arts Center. It features a dazzling array of constantly changing performance arts - from music to stage performances. On its vibrant 10-acre downtown campus, the nonprofit Center operates three of the nation’s finest performance venues: the Winspear Opera House, Wyly Theatre, Strauss Square, and the welcoming public green space, Sammons Park. Click here for the current schedule of shows at this fabulous venue in downtown Dallas. 

Architecture Walking Tour 

Many believe the best way to explore this downtown neighborhood's fascinating history is on foot during a 90-minute Dallas Arts District Architecture Walking Tour. From museums to mansions trained, tour guides lead groups through the district to explore the architecture of buildings from 1890 to the present day. The tours are offered on the first and third Saturdays of the month.
