Director's Welcome
Welcome to the Web site of the Dallas Museum of Art.
The Dallas Museum of Art is located in the downtown Dallas Arts District, now considered the largest urban arts district in the United States. The DMA has a proud history of serving the North Texas community and connecting art and people, and welcomes over 600,000 visitors each year. The Museum was established in 1903 and features an outstanding collection of more than 23,000 works of art from around the world, from ancient to modern times. In 2008, the Museum opened the Center for Creative Connections, a ground-breaking space devoted to presenting interactive experiences with art for all generations and learning styles to explore and begin their journey into the collections.
One of the distinguishing features of the Museum is its varied and dynamic programs, events, and exhibitions to engage our visitors more fully with the art. One out every two visitors to the Museum engages in some kind of program or activity to deepen their connection to the art. We invite you to view highlights of the Museum’s collections on this Web site as well as search the collections. You can also find information on current and upcoming exhibitions and programs. You are also free to shop the online Museum Store or join the Museum. If you are a member of the Museum, we thank you and invite you to visit the members’ section to learn more about exclusive member activities and benefits. The Web site can also be useful in planning your visit. The site is organized into six sections: Visit, View, Events, Family, Educators, Member/Donor Center, and About Us. Each section offers a drop-down menu and is easy to navigate. On the home page, we highlight the main events going on at the Museum.
We hope you will visit our Web site often and use it to make your visits to the Museum more rewarding.
The Dallas Museum of Art offers hundreds of experiences. We invite you to have many of your own. Sincerely,
Bonnie Pitman
The Eugene McDermott Director
