Andra ZapartanJuly 27, 2016Nasher Sculpture Center is home to more than 300 sculptures, including works by artists like Brancusi, Rodin, Matisse and de Kooning. The interior is airy, as well as the garden. Great place!
- Robyn HarmanSeptember 9, 2018The outdoor area at this place is inspiring. Buy tickets online. OR check out the free events on their website, such as 'Til Midnight at the Nasher where you can get a picnic and enjoy entertainment.
- Katie AlbersJuly 16, 2019My favorite museum in Dallas. Is a perfect mixture of indoor and outdoor displays. Be on the look out for "Nights at The Nasher" for free admission until midnight certain nights during the summer.

The Ritz-CarltonOctober 19, 2011With hundreds of works by the world’s biggest names, the 10,000-square-foot Nasher Sculpture Center is an art lover’s dream, but the big surprise is the garden exhibition space. Step outside. Enjoy.
