Dallas Arts District

The Dallas Arts District is the largest contiguous urban arts district in the United States — 68 acres in the northern edge of downtown that house the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Meyerson Symphony Center, the Winspear Opera House, and the Wyly Theatre. Built over thirty years, the district represents the most concentrated collection of landmark architecture in the American Southwest. Renzo Piano's Nasher sits beside Norman Foster's Winspear, I.M. Pei's Meyerson faces Rem Koolhaas's Wyly Theatre, and the whole collection anchors Klyde Warren Park — the deck park that reconnected downtown to Uptown. This is the story of how Dallas assembled its cultural identity one world-class architect at a time.
