Tried to go today on an 8 hr layover in Dallas and I walked out. I had my Longchamp tote bag with me which doubled as my purse. It's big but not oversized. The lady told me I could not bring it in as it was too big and I said I had no problem checking it. Their idea of... More

This place is exactly what it says, its a museum and an art gallery. I spent around 3-4 hours in there but could easily have spent much longer had my feet not been tired by walking round Dallas all day. There are some great pictures and artifacts from history. I was suprised to see the personal effects and paintings of... More

Every time I go here they have a cool exhibit. And the rest of the collection are very interesting. I really like this place. Some how they find an awesome exhibit every time. And if you dont like the one that they are showing I'm sure you will like at lest one of the next few that they have! More

Having not visited the DMA in many years, I found the museum to have developed and exquisite collection that in quality if not quantity rivals the finest museums in the country. The staff is helpful and enthusiastic and I encourage all to visit this wonderful asset in one of the most important of American cities. More

Huge museum, but has a lot of filler. If you go, you'll understand. I don't think an entire wing needs to be devoted to Native American pottery. More

Happened to end up in Dallas on a Friday when the museum was open until midnight. The gallery was celebrating a tamties beauty exhibit and the place was packed with all ages many of whom were dressed in costume. The gallery did a great job on education during the event and it was a great evening. All that said the... More
