The Nasher Sculpture Center is truly a remarkable museum showcasing its founders' passion and wonderment. It specializes in modern and contemporary sculpture, displaying indoor and outdoor art. One of its most fascinating features is the garden filled with intriguing pieces from the Raymond and Patsy Nasher collection. The collection is incredibly diverse, including modern works and postwar creations that cover various materials and interpretations. Professional curators are delighted to see certain artists strongly represented, including Matisse, Picasso, Miro, and Giacometti.

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.
