Nasher Sculpture Center (Dallas, Texas)

Nasher Sculpture Center is home to the exhibition, study, and preservation of modern sculpture & contemporary sculpture.  "The collection – which numbers more than three hundred sculptures together with twentieth-century paintings and drawings – rotate in thematic installations throughout the Center’s seamless blend of indoor and outdoor exhibition spaces: an elegant, light-filled 55,000 ft2 building ... and a spacious garden."  ~ http://www.nashersculpturecenter.org
