Very awesome museum, one of the most impressive art museums I have ever visited, very large selection of art and being free admission makes it top tier. Highly recommend stopping in during your trip to Dallas.
Admission is free. Secure your tickets online in advance. You cannot carry drinks etc but there is a coatcheck where you can secure any items that you brought with you. This is especially useful for people out for the day exploring the city like myself.
I really enjoyed The Dallas Museum of Art. I was worried that I didn’t see all of the items on display due to the layout being quite maze-like. The arrangement was really neat but I know I missed some walkways and I completely missed the sculpture garden, sadly. You could easily spend hours here. Photography is allowed expect for borrowed pieces and special exhibits. Flash photography is prohibited. There were two women doing an Instagram style photo shoot when I was there. They were monopolizing several of the art pieces that I would have liked to have seen but no one stopped them so I guess it was acceptable. There are lots of employees around to ask questions if needed.

Super fun. We went when it was 110 outside so the sculpture garden was closed. They said it is usually opens each morning till it gets to hot. We were going to go back but run out of time. (the museum is free)
An astounding collection of art and artifacts from around the globe. The African and Asian art galleries were my favorites! An employee suggested we begin at the 4th floor and make our way down, and I’m glad they did! Such an incredible experience. A must visit in Dallas!
I’ve been wanting to come here for quite sometime. I was having a stressful morning and decided to just throw that whole situation away and restart the day. I enjoyed floating through the galleries. I got hungry and went to their cafe and I was impressed. I excepted school lunch but was treated to a culinary delight. The strawberry mango compote was refreshing it had a hint of ginger but it was beautiful 😍 the mini bri and crostini worked wonderfully. I want to come back and finish looking around. It was fun and it wasn’t crowded although people were round about.
The Dallas Museum of art was beautiful and awesome, It was a trip for family day at the Job and we had 5 kids ages 4-9. The only issues we had is there seemed to be employees in every room following close behind to make sure the kids didn't get to close or touch anything they even asked us to keep them 2 feet back while we watched adults standing so close the could lick the portrait.
So I'm just not sure how kid friendly they are maybe it was because we had 5 young kid's, I would return but with adults.

What a wonderful and shall I say - Free museum to visit in the heart of museum district in Dallas. The parking isn’t free though and now costs $20. It is a bit high but you can park all day until 9pm and walk to other museums and locations nearby or grab food while you car stays cool in the covered park. The museum has a good collection, a little crowded though because, well it’s free. The Asian collection is bigger than I had expected and I love the sizeable addition of Indian and Islamic art. They had a mummy while I visited which is great to see. Set aside a couple hours to fully explore it all and you can always grab some food at the cafe if you feel hungry. The museum staff isn’t too overwhelming which is a good thing. Maybe avoid weekends and public holidays if you don’t want to deal with crowds.
