The Golf Club at McKinney

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.

If you're interested in exploring religious art from different denominations, visiting the Museum of Biblical Art is necessary. The museum strongly emphasizes art history and showcases decorative art from Israel and the Holy Land, providing a unique and educational experience. Additionally, the museum collaborates with Jesuit Preparatory School on an educational initiative that combines gardening with art appreciation and history, allowing students to connect their real-life experiences to their faith and understanding of the Mass, personal devotions, and the Fourteen Stations of the Cross. With eleven galleries, The National Center for Jewish Art, the Museum of Holocaust Art, the European Art Treasury, an on-site Art Conservation Lab, Via Dolorosa Sculpture Garden, and other significant pilgrimage attractions, the museum offers a wide range of programs, field trips, and events for art enthusiasts of all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs.
