This is a fantastic museum and seems to be a hidden gem . Free and one of those places that is laid out so that there are treasures round every corner. Start at the top floor and work your way down.

Adam Kushner

Great place for families. It feels safe and there are lots of activities for everyone. Best of all, it’s free! This is also a great place to park , visit for a while and then explore the city .

The Ritz-Carlton

The Museum houses the works of artists from every continent - many of which tell stories from thousands of years ago. Public admission to the Museum is complimentary to all.

Lee Diaz

Free general admission to allow you to explore long-time exhibits , with special exhibits that may require an additional ticket. Check their website special event hours (like Late Nights ).

Catarina Lai

Great art museum with really interesting Islamic and African collections. Be sure to check out the Reeves collection and it’s interesting history.

Rose Ibrahim

Free jazz Thursdays from 6-8pm. Go early to grab a seat. Museum also has free general admission to most exhibits . This is one of my fav spots in Dallas. Great place to take pics.

Rachel Hill

The DMA offers a variety of art and historical collections and exhibits for public consumption. It not only offers great collections but also hosts jazz performers free Thursday nights!

It is very fun and interactive, great for taking the kids and then heading to the park across the street.

Ray Lopes

Nice permanent collection but the temporary exhibitions are the best and always surprising: Pop Art , Pollock, Irving Penn, I'd recommend'em all!

Catherine Gomez

Take your time and keep track of what you've seen as it's easy to get turned around. Very clean and staff is friendly and helpful. Very nice free museum .

Hannah Alkadi

Make this a day trip with comfortable shoes ! Beautiful Asian, African, and Islamic art .

Emily Baer

Currently (not sure if it's their permanent collection) have a great show of maya, Olmec, and Aztec art with rather in depth wall writings explaining the cultures.

Robby Gordon

I love this museum . It has a great variety of art from various periods. Personally, I enjoy the contemporary pieces.

Christopher Popov

The AC in this building offers a nice reprieve from the summer heat and you can look at art while you cool off: Win-win!

Cass Grimm

Wow! What a wonderful, free museum for all ages. Art from all over the world!!

Jane Wagner

The real highlight was the Emery and Wendy Reves collection, incorporating elements from Coco Chanel (for the fashionistas) and Sir Winston Churchill (for the conservative political buffs)!

HISTORY

This museum holds a renowned collection of treasures and timeless exhibits . Permanent collections include Ten Treasures, highlighting the key areas of the museum 's interests.

Lydia White

Oftentimes there's free events and concerts in the summer, I love going to the Jazz in the Atrium on Thursday nights! So excited that it's FREE now!

JenKudu

You need at least 3 hours to enjoy it... But you could spend an entire day here. Much bigger than we had anticipated.

Rahul Joshi

Dallas Museum of Art at 8 minutes drive to the south of Dallas dentist Fitz Dental

Samantha Nemazie

This is such a great way to spend your afternoon! If you need a break from walking check out the movie theater in the kids arts and craft section!

Robyn Harman

Free admission . But plan to pay for parking . Walk across the street afterward to grab lunch at a food truck and hang at Klyde Warren Park .

Jenna Tenpenny

Drop by the DMA for a good dose of art + culture! Admission is free most days.

Amanda Howard

Free admission , get to make points easily when you're a DMA member to get free parking on your next visit. Good for a date.

Tim Chipp

The general admission displays are worth it, let alone the special exhibits . I'm particularly a fan of the paintings .

Ed

I liked the place, but hall monitors follow folks around like gestapo. The exhibits are not Vatican or Louvre quality or age, and 95% of exhibit can be photographed . So, what's the big deal @ photos?

Peter Shay

The garden area outside of the museum is free. A great place to take a break in downtown Dallas.

Happyfeet

Free general admission but also, a ROAM reciprocal museum , in case that free for all business ever changes

Many people don't know that the DMA best Art Gallery holds a renowned collection of treasures. Check out DMA's Ten Treasures, highlighting the key areas of the museum 's interests.

Create your own pasta dishes and salads at the atrium cafe are almost as good as the jazz on Thursday Nights #AtriumJazz #ThursdayNightLive
