Meadows Museum — Attraction in University Park

The Meadows Museum is such a stunning, elegant and perfectly located event space as well as art museum! My husband and I had our wedding reception at Meadows April 2019 and it blew us away!! The Great Jones Hall and the Founders Room are connected by a gorgeous marble walk-way. Our guests were enchanted by the world class art work and gold chandeliers in Jones Hall where we had cocktail tables, bar, a main cake and dessert table, and our jazz band! Our 200 guests were able to mingle in Jones Hall and move over to the Founders Room to sit and enjoy the time with family and friends. After the wedding SO many of our guests kept telling us they were not sure if they were at our wedding or cast in a movie as they entered Meadows for the reception. The staff at Meadows is beyond capable and helpful. They made sure we were taken care of from begging to end, no worries only joy. I am thrilled to be able to say we spent our first few hours as a married couple celebrating in such a glorious venue!

Overall it's some excellent artwork that demonstrates some excellent representations of the subject matter, and the location is very quiet, so it is probably worthwhile to those hoping to avoid more crowded places such as other museums around Dallas (which are also...

I recently visited the Meadows Museum, and it was a remarkable cultural experience. The museum's collection of art, particularly its impressive array of Spanish masterpieces, left me in awe. The exhibits were well-curated and provided an insightful journey through the history of Spanish art.

The museum is free if you are only going to see the arts at the ground floor, however there is a fee of $12 if you want to see the exhibition at the upper floor.

The museum's architecture and layout were both aesthetically pleasing and conducive to a leisurely exploration of the art on display. The lighting and ambiance added to the overall charm of the visit.

Moreover, the staff at the Meadows Museum were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the artworks, enhancing my appreciation of the pieces. They were also more than willing to answer any questions and provide background...
