The Granada Theater must have been quite the spectacle when it first opened in the Dallas market on January 16, 1946, with the screening of "Mildred Pierce." Even today, it continues to impress with its stunning exterior adorned with neon lights that evoke the glitz and glamor of Hollywood's Golden Era. You'll find plenty of art deco designs inside and out, with rounded corners and linear accents that harken back to a bygone era. You will want to attend the main hall's original art murals, designed by the same artists behind Los Angeles's famed Grauman's Chinese Theater. These grand-scale murals depict various film genres, while the ceiling features a stunning mythological "film goddess" standing over a film reel. It's truly a sight to behold.

Quietly reflect on one of the most spiritually-based art forms at the Crow Collection of Asian Art. The collection combines pieces from China, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia, each with distinct cultural and artistic traditions. The museum is committed to promoting learning and dialogue about the arts and cultures of Asia, and they are preserving and sharing these treasures with the public. By fostering compassion and inclusivity through their work, the museum is helping to build a greater awareness and shared sense of what it means to be human.
