The spectacular Nasher Sculpture Center opened in 2003 in a structure infused with natural light, designed by the renowned architect Renzo Piano. With a collection that includes some of the finest works from Picasso, Rodin, Miró, Matisse, and many others, the center could make Dallas an art destination. It's already the hip downtown spot on Thursday nights, when admission is free and the center stages "salons" on popular culture while cocktails flow and DJs spin tunes.
