The Dallas Museum of Art offers groups of ten or more a variety of ways to enjoy the Museum. Whether you have an hour to spend in the collections, want to experience a special exhibition, or have time to spend the entire day including lunch and a guided tour, the Museum can help create a memorable experience. If you are planning an event for a group of ten or up to 1,500 people, our Group Sales and Special Events teams can help you with the details.
