Activity Overview
It’s chic, it’s glam, it’s a world famous art collection in a fantastic $70M structure of polished stone, wood and glass…the last place you would think junior would be welcome to visit, right?. But au contraire, the Nasher is very family friendly.
The Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection is the home of 300-plus modern and contemporary masterpieces by world-famous artists. The Nasher also has special exhibits from private collections and other museums.
The building itself is a work of art and was designed to maximize sunlight as it changes throughout the day.
