The Crow Museum of Asian Art is housed in a vibrant space inside the University of Texas at Dallas' campus in the Arts District neighborhood. The brainchild of Trammell and Margaret Crow, it is the first museum dedicated to Asian art in North Texas. As you approach the museum, you will notice an expansive open-air pavilion that gives way to a bright, welcoming lobby. The center's design was inspired by traditional east-Asian architecture and boasts three galleries, one for permanent collections and two for rotating exhibitions. The center's location—in the heart of the sixteenth largest metropolitan area in America—enthusiasts a sense of accessibility. One can visit on their lunch break or during a weekend getaway with their family, friends or colleagues. After exploring more than 6,000 years of cultural treasures from China, Korea, Japan and India, you may want to take advantage of your surroundings as well! The thriving art district offers many other nearby attractions such as restaurants and shops where you can continue your excursion into history and culture. Ready more fun?
