We went to this museum last week and found the place worth visiting. The exhibits are categorised well and labelled to explain. We reached the place by 3.00P.M. and had about two hours to explore and enjoy. We had booked tickets online but it was free and we paid for parking before heading in. We were allowed photos without flash. Recommend this place as an escape from the Dallas heat and a delve into the past and understand the splendour and grandeur with which communities lived. Display of rooms with each item labelled, the ornamental silverware used , the tribal arts and wonderful marble statues are just a few examples.

It's a great place. There's a lot to see, I didn't even finish going through the whole museum. The kid's area was a good idea, you get to make some cute little scratch off necklaces, and it lets the whole family get involved. The art is arranged by era and style I think, it was pretty easy to navigate but it's a shame some areas were closed when I went. The security guards were a little too aggressive with their warnings when we stepped a little too close to some things but I suppose you can never be too careful. Overall I had a good time just relaxing and walking around looking at beautiful art. There was a great variety of things to see and I would definitely come back again someday.

Very nice museum with many many art work to look at. It took us 3hr to get through the whole museum and still miss a few small areas. We went at the time when they were having free art activity which was kinda fun. Free ticket, parking is $15. You need to get the tickets online and just show the barcodes they sent in your email to the front desk. And you can donate however much you want to the museum, we donated $10 to show appreciation for the free tickets and the hard work to set up such a nice museum.

Beautiful Museum filled with art from all over the world. I am absolutely in love with all the art. The staff is so wonderful and helpful. Here’s a few things you should know. You are allowed to carry a backpack, BUT you have to carry it by hand, you cannot put it on your back. You are allowed to take pictures, but I think flash photography isn’t encouraged (I am not one hundred percent sure about this). ADMISSION IS FREE. That’s the best part in my opinion 😁. I absolutely loved going to this museum. I went in a field trip with my class to see the Octavio Medellin exhibition. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

you would have to talk to the curator.
