Why you should go…
The Nasher Sculpture Center opened in 2003 on a 2.4-acre site in the Dallas Arts District. Renzo Piano designed the 55,000-square-foot building, and Peter Walker laid out the garden, so you move between indoor galleries and outdoor rooms. You can see works by Brancusi, Calder, Giacometti, Matisse, Picasso, Rodin and Richard Serra. Raymond Duchamp-Villon's Large Horse is part of the collection on view.
