Dallas Arts District
Ideal: Ideal for art, museums, modern architecture, city culture, and central Dallas routes.
At 27 hectares it is America's largest contiguous arts district. Its distinction is not density but signatures: four separate Pritzker Prize winners — Renzo Piano, I. M. Pei, Norman Foster, and Rem Koolhaas — have buildings side by side, a concentration found nowhere else. The Winspear Opera House's red glass shell and the Nasher Sculpture Center's daylight-filtering roof are among the most talked-about details.
Why go?
- To see Dallas' cultural and modern side
- To explore museums, concert halls, and architecture in one area
- For an art-focused experience unlike the classic Texas image
