when my sister's friend, who lives in dallas, learned that my sister and i wanted to visit her she asked us what we wanted to do while we were there, i replied quickly that i wanted to visit museums, so after meeting up with her and going to lunch we went to the dallas museum of art
first we went to the nasher sculpture center, and i must say there were many beautiful things in the inside portion (but of course we were weary about taking photographs due to all the guards), so after we went downstairs and saw a few sculptures we decided to go look at the ones outside, and after opening the door we were overcome with the beautiful staircase pictured above, we walked around and viewed the sculptures but it was extremely hot (over 100 degrees!) so we decided to go to the main building and view the galleries there (and even though to see the nasher sculpture center it cost extra if you ever visit don't pass it up, the extra money is worth it!)
i must say i never realized how big the museum was going to be, it has so many levels and little rooms and i didn't want to miss a thing, we all got tired from walking around so much but it really was amazing and there were so many beautiful things to look at (Giacometti, Lichtenstein, Braque, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet, Mondrian...) although, i'm sure my sister and her friend got tired of me talking about various artists and the little bits of information i remembered about them from my art history classes!
overall, it was a great visit but i must say i would have preferred to spend most of the day there so I could appreciate the art more and not get so exhausted trying to see it all before the museum closed
