Nasher Sculpture Center

This morning we threw together a chicken gumbo in the crock pot and took off to the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas' arts district.  Admission was free today and we beat the heat by wandering through the sculpture garden and viewing the art indoors as well. 

We had fun participating in an art scavenger hunt. We were provided with 4 images showing only part of 4 separate sculptures, had to recognize the feature, and write down the title and artist. Kids got some snazzy sunglasses as a prize.

Neal and I both saw this shot at the same time and made sure we got it.  The "Hammering Man" was in the Nasher Sculpture Garden and The Museum Tower was being constructed across the street.  Rather befitting.

These stairs were so cool!  With every step someone took up or down it played a piano key following the scale up or down.
Do you see that wall behind us?  It is a room absolutely stuffed with large, gold balloons.  People were allowed to go in there but we didn't think the 90 minute wait with two hungry kids was a good idea.  Sad kids, happy parents.

What Neal and I do best.
We were lucky enough to come during story time and the kids each got a free book.
Not too bad for only paying parking!  Spent the afternoon napping and hanging out.
