This 17-block, 62-acre neighborhood at the center of Dallas’ cultural environment, the largest urban arts district in the country, features the Morton H. Myerson Symphony Center, the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Dallas Museum of Art and numerous other facilities for arts, music, theatre and dance.

Impressionists and other European painters highlight this prestigious museum, as does its acclaimed collection of African art -- the most extensive in the U.S.

With more than 300 stunning pieces, the Nasher is the first institution in the world dedicated exclusively to the exhibition of modern and contemporary sculpture from names that include Matisse, Picasso and Rodin.

This renowned museum hosts historic objects of metal and stone, 600-plus paintings and large architectural pieces dedicated to the arts and cultures of China, Japan, India and Southeast Asia.

The Dallas Symphony's mission is to entertain, inspire and change lives through musical excellence. The Symphony is led by renowned Music Director Jaap van Zweden of the Netherlands.

The Museum of Nature & Science Expansion Project is the result of a merger, unlike any in the nation, of three cultural institutions—the Dallas Museum of Natural History, The Science Place and the Dallas Children's Museum. After the merger, the need for additional space became critical. As a result, the Museum has begun to expand its reach within the community by offering a second facility to address the growing need for science, math and technology education. The current Fair Park facility will remain and the building of a state-of-the-art museum in Victory Park to supplement the existing Fair Park location is underway.

From its location in the former Texas School Book Depository, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza provides a comprehensive exhibit on the life, death and legacy of President John F. Kennedy.
