Located in the heart of the Dallas Arts District, the Nasher Sculpture Center is home to the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection, one of the finest collections of modern and contemporary sculpture in the world, featuring more than 300 masterpieces by Calder, de Kooning, di Suvero, Giacometti, Gormley, Hepworth, Kelly, Matisse, Miró, Moore, Picasso, Rodin, Serra, and Shapiro, among others. On view in the light-filled galleries of the Renzo Piano-designed building and amid the garden grounds is a rotating selection of works from the Collection, as well as important exhibitions of modern and contemporary sculpture.

The museum was designed by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano, in collaboration with landscape architect Peter Walker, to seamlessly integrate the indoor galleries with the outdoor garden spaces, creating a museum experience unlike any other in the world. The 55,000 square-foot building and 1.4 acre sculpture garden occupy a city block in the heart of the Dallas Arts District.

Romola and I even were able to be integrated into some sculptures. Can you find us?

After visiting the sculpture Center we walked to the Clyde Warren Park, built right over top of the freeway. Lots of food trucks, but we enjoyed a leisurely lunch at Mi Cocina in the park.
