What People Are Saying About Dallas Museum of Art

In Short – Since 1903, the DMA has been showing culturally significant artwork. The compact, modern exterior disguises spacious galleries inside. Permanent collections range from ancient Mediterranean to contemporary. The European Painting and Sculpture collection draws a crowd, offering notable works from Monet, Gauguin, Mondrian and Rodin. Prolific in the gathering of West African art, a sizeable display from the sub-Saharan region is impressive. Stop by the Visitor Services desk or call to ask about family-friendly workshops and camps.

unpolished security guards nearly ruined visit
by cmk1126
It was a very hot Saturday in July, and the very rude and absurd security guard made me throw my empty cup away in a trash can outside (over a dozen feet away). There was also a trash can about as far away just inside the door in the cafe area. But she was very belligerent and wouldn't let me take those air-conditioned steps to the rubbish bin. She made me go outside. It was difficult to enjoy the trip as a result of this ridiculous beginning. Also, most of the art is nonsense.
- Cons: rude staff

What a scam
by joycelarock
Too many patrons. Fire hazard. Flu season. Parking expensive. Ticketmaster sold tickets that were to be good for anytime, but expired on May 1 unbeknown to me. I was told go anytime. You pass up the line. Yea right on. I am sorry my daughter paid that much money for a Christmas gift to her Dad and I. Old people should not be allowed to receive such wonderful gifts and then not get to use them. Our fault, we did not look at tickets again until May 2nd. What a surprise! I seriously don't think we missed a lot this time around. A father that spent way to many hours working. I did not get to see it 30 years ago, too busy with 3 children under 12 years. I don't know how I am going to make it up to her. I will survice and she will get over it. Lesson learned here, don't put off until tomorrow. Happy Mother's Day to all.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Many
