Don't leave Dallas without going here!. Park any where around and walk inside usually someone is on duity and will be able to tell you what you are seeing. This is a relatively unknown gem in Dallas. It tells the history of Texas though the eyes of artist from the 1930s.

Walk the park and look at all the restored murals, Go see a IMAX movie at the Science place or or the American Railroad Museum... walk down to exposition park and have a cold draft beer at the Amsterdam Bar or food at Exposition Cafe or Meridian Room.

Built in 1936, this is a shrine to Texas history and a rental facility for a wide range of events.. In Short
The building is rich in symbolic art and sculpture that tells the story of the Lone Star State. The Portico's six towering limestone pilasters frame five majestic, ornamental bronze doors that provide the entryway into this classic art-deco design. The real crowd-puller is the expansive Great Hall. A gold medallion on the far wall, 12 feet in diameter, is the focal point. The HOS is a popular spot for receptions, banquets and events.
