When we arrived in the city of Dallas, our Spring journey was already halfway through, but we still felt full of energy and excitement. We had been enjoying every part of the trip so far—the interesting places we visited, the delicious food we tried, the kind people we met, and even the thrilling NBA games we watched. Dallas felt like a big, modern city, and I was especially looking forward to visiting the Dallas Museum of Art, one of the main artistic destinations on my list.
The museum is located in the heart of vibrant Downtown Dallas, surrounded by tall buildings and busy streets. As we approached, I was impressed by the museum’s beautiful modern architecture. The clean lines and open design made the building look inviting and full of creative energy.
The main entrance of the museum
“Hart Window” by Dale Chihuly at the cafeteria and lounge area
As we entered the museum, the first thing that caught my eye was Dale Chihuly’s stunning glass art installation. It was displayed on a tall, vertical window in the lounge area, where the sunlight poured through the colorful glass, making it shine like a jewel. The colors and shapes were so vibrant that I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.
Even though it was a weekday, the museum was full of visitors. I saw many school groups visiting for field trips. Students from elementary to high school were sitting on the floor in front of different artworks, listening carefully to guides who were explaining the stories and meanings behind each piece. It was heartwarming to see young people so engaged with art.

The museum gift shop
The museum’s collection was wide and impressive, with artworks from ancient times to the modern day. The galleries were thoughtfully organized across different sections and floors, making it easy to explore each era and culture. There were paintings, sculptures, artifacts, and even decorative objects from around the world. Although it took me several hours to walk through all the exhibits, I didn’t feel tired at all. Instead, I felt inspired and joyful. Each room offered something new to discover, and I loved getting lost in the beauty and creativity of the art.
