January 18, 2010 by Wendi McGowan · Leave a Comment
Located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, The Crow Collection is a permanent set of galleries dedicated to the arts and cultures of China, Japan, India and Southeast Asia. The museum offers a serene setting for quiet reflection and learning.
The Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art contains more than 750 scrolls, paintings, objects of metal and stone, and large architectural pieces from China, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia. Over 300 works are on display in three galleries including precious jade ornaments from China, delicate Japanese scrolls and a rarely seen 28-foot by 12-foot sandstone facade of an 18th century Indian residence.
The Crow Collection is located in the heart of the Dallas Arts District, a 17-block, 61.7-acre neighborhood in the northeast part of downtown Dallas that was inaugurated in 1984. Already home to some of Dallas’ most storied buildings, the Arts District welcomed the new facilities established for the Dallas Museum of Art and the Dallas Symphony in the late eighties/early nineties. Those edifices have in fact become the anchors for a blossoming, architecturally distinctive community destination that is still growing.
Hours: The Crow Collection is open Tuesdays–Thursdays 10 AM–9 PM, and Fridays–Sundays 10 AM–6 PM; closed Mondays.
Admission: Daily admission to the museum is FREE.
