Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art

About this museum

In the heart of Dallas's Arts District - a walkable corridor that has made the city a serious contender in the American cultural landscape - the Crow Museum of Asian Art stands apart from its neighbors not just in focus but in atmosphere. Where the Nasher Sculpture Center offers outdoor contemplation and the Dallas Museum of Art presents encyclopedic breadth, the Crow delivers intimacy and depth: individual galleries dedicated to distinct Asian regions and traditions, each room becoming its own world.With 801 reviews averaging 4.6 stars, the Crow has cultivated a devoted following among art lovers who appreciate the care and specificity that a focused collection allows. The museum traces Asian artistic traditions from 1000 B.C. through the 20th century, moving through China, Japan, Korea, India, and Southeast Asia with objects that range from bronze ritual vessels to lacquerware, ceramics, jade carvings, textiles, and temple sculpture. Each piece has been selected with the curatorial intelligence that distinguishes a serious private collection - assembled by real estate magnate Trammell Crow over decades - from an institutional survey.Located at 2010 Flora Street, the museum is surrounded by gracious garden and sculpture terraces that make the Crow campus one of the most pleasant outdoor spaces in downtown Dallas. The surrounding Arts District is walkable, with the Winspear Opera House, the AT&T Performing Arts Center, and several restaurants within easy strolling distance.Admission is free, which makes the Crow one of the great bargains in a district where cultural experiences can add up quickly. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11AM to 5PM, closed Monday. Visit crowmuseum.org for current exhibits and programming details.
