Nasher Sculpture Center Tours
The Dallas Arts District’s Nasher Sculpture Center is home to some of the finest examples of modern sculpture in the world. With more than 300 pieces in the permanent collection, visitors can see works by Alexander Calder, Willem de Kooning, Pablo Picasso, and Alberto Giacometti, plus special exhibits featuring artwork on loan.
The Basics
Your visit to the Nasher Sculpture Center includes a self-guided audio tour any time, or a guided tour at designated times throughout the week. Buying your ticket in advance ensures you won’t have to wait in line, and it also includes any special exhibits, along with a free guided tour of the indoor and outdoor galleries.

How to Get There
The Nasher Sculpture Center is located next to the Dallas Museum of Arts in the downtown Dallas Arts District. Underground paid parking is available at the Dallas Museum of Art. You can take the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to the Pearl/Arts District station or St. Paul station and walk three blocks north to Flora Street, or take the free D-Link bus to the Dallas Arts District (Stop 19).
When to Get There
The museum is open from 11am to 5pm Tuesday through Sunday except for July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. It is busier on weekends, especially the once-monthly free Saturdays.
Renzo Piano’s Architectural Masterpiece
The building that houses the Nasher, designed by Renzo Piano and Peter Walker, is itself a work of art, with a glass roof designed to shower the space with filtered sunlight. However, construction of a nearby luxury condominium tower with a glass skin stirred up a “glare dispute” controversy, as it has reflected too much sun and flooded the Nasher with light.
