Experience art!
The Nasher Sculpture Center is located in the Arts District of Dallas. This is the perfect place to spend a few hours. Be sure to go on a nice day to get the full benefit of the garden. The galleries can be viewed within a couple of hours. Parking is pretty easy as there is a lot across the street from the center. If it's full, there are several other parking options within a few blocks of the center. Flash Photography is not allowed inside the gallery. The staff will be sure to remind you if you miss the signs at the entrance.
There are multiple galleries for visitors to explore inside and out of the building. The Center is home to several works by Pablo Picasso, Rodin, and other famous and local artists. The Center is very focused on educating visitors. They sometimes have craft tables available for kids of all ages to enjoy during their visit. Their paper map gives visitors a brief summary of each of the permanent displays. They are well written and give the viewer a sense of who the artist was, and where they got their inspiration. I particularly enjoyed wandering the garden. While you cannot touch the sculptures, you may walk through them. I recommend walking through the curved wall slowly and allowing it to show you that it's much more than a random wall in a garden.
