Great place to take the family and dates. Get to see a beautiful private collection of Asian art. From priceless jade pieces to large items. And best of all it is free! From time to time the collection rotates. When we’re in town we always make a stop.

This was another nice museum to go to that was also free and got you out of the Texas heat. I loved each piece was displayed nicely with a label of description or what its made from a the period it came from. Tower 1 was definitely the better side. My only downside of this one is we felt a bit harassed by the monitors. They made us feel like we were kids that didnt know how to behave or were going to steal or touch something. It just felt we were specifically targeted for no reason when all we were doing was looking at and reading each piece. Besides that I did really enjoyed reading and learning how each piece was made and all of the beautiful details of each piece.

Interesting museum with a unique collection. Though sadly only half of the museum was open. It is free and what more could you want!!

I brought my daughter here for an exhibit and it was wonderful! The pieces are amazing and I love how they had a children’s event. The wonderful woman doing henna was such a joy to speak with and all the little girls were loving how elaborate and detailed she was doing everyone’s henna. It was a wonderful experience.

Beautiful Asian art museum in downtown Dallas, and while parking is a challenge, if youre walking by its certainly worthwhile. A very aesthetically pleasing collection that spans more than what Ive shared, and the staff were VERY friendly and respectful to us!

Small but the collection is awesome me! The best part is it’s FREE! I saw Beili Liu, master shen-long, the art of Lacquer and Qing dinasty collection.

This is such a beautiful museum! Located downtown, within walking distance of other museums and a park. Its so wonderful to walk through this place. Lots of history and very interesting information as well. If you love beautiful art, this is well worth a visit. It never seems to be crowded either.

This was my visit to the museum and I really enjoyed my experience. I love history and art and this truly gave me a deeper view into Asian culture and history. This is a free museum, which is unbelievable given the high quality of the museum.

This is one of my favorite places in Dallas! Its not very big; you can easily see the whole museum in an hour or two. But almost EVERY piece in the museum is exquisite and absolutely worth seeing. Its one of the only museums that makes me actually take my time appreciating every little thing. The Art of Lacquer and Jacob Hashimoto exhibits they have right now are particularly beautiful!

Absolutely amazing museum. Its free admission (they do take donations) They are actually celebrating their 20th year anniversary this year. They always have great events as well. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable. Will be back for more events.

Within quick walking distance from DMA and across the street from Nasher sculpture (which costs $10,) and just like DMA it is entirely free, so theirs really no excuse not to. You basically start at the samurai armor and walk around, and up the stairs, making your way to a large cloth tapestry exhibit, and then down the stairs to more of the same, to then exit with the option of buying something from the gift shop such as matcha tea and the usual variety of ceramics. Some parking meters are accessible near this area, and both the Crow Museum and Nasher will take approximately 1 hour if you are diligent with time, though a safe bet is 2 hours if you were to rush through some of the DMA, where it might be much easier to park at and not worry about a parking meter (if you are willing to cross traffic these are usually an option.)

We love Asian art and the Crow familys team has done an excellent job curating these pieces. Hopefully, post-COVID we will all be able to come back and enjoy the wonderful works of art displayed here.

This place is awesome! Total hidden gem, and way more worthwhile than the Dallas Museum of Art nearby. Its free, has excellent staff and some really cool pieces. The only drawback is that its fairly small and most of the exhibits above the ground floor are closed.

This place was dope! We were on our way out of town having been there on vacation. My fiance suggested we stop by after seeing a billboard as we were leaving town. I semi reluctantly agreed and we took the short (but took a long time) detour. After walking around blocks in the cold lost at where to find an entrance we were told the clamor through a construction zone to our final destination. It was all worth it! From the exhibits to the architecture of the building itself I was stunned. I had no idea there were works of art that ate that detailed, and that old. Ive never seen jade sculptures of such fine craftsmanship. I came away with a new appreciation for the Asian arts.

Must Visit Museum for art lovers.Great collection of ancient to modern asian arts.There are special exhibits almost all the time.I was lucky enough to see Jacob Hashimoto’s Nuvole(cloud) expo.Parking - Trammel crow center attached to Museum building.($5 during weekends).I would suggest road side parking on weekdays since most of the garages are expensive during weekdays.Admission - Free

The Crow is a small museum with a wonderful collection of Jade and Lacquer. On the lower level the exhibitions change regularly as do those on the mezzanine. There are a mixture of modern works and objects from the extensive collection. Some of the jade is breathtaking and beautifully displayed. The added bonus is the extensive and well stocked museum shop.

This is a small gem, often overlooked!The most impressive are the intricately carved stones, wood and broidery - very small details!This last time we were impressed with a big Cristal Ball that was actually a clear see-through rock, through which you could see someone standing behind, as an inverted image.

Marvelous design of the building, art was aesthetic and out of the world. On top of that had a huge chance to see tons of Master Joshi’s and imitating senpei. Creation based on detrimental fuel of the mind proved to be perfect.

The newly redesigned Crow Museum is amazing! The interior details are stunning. I think the coolest and most beautiful installation is actually in the gift shop. Above the tea station is a recess area with over four hundred paper tessellations folded by Paper For Water and designed Russian origami artist Ekaterina Lukasheva. Check it out.

Its a small exhibit, so I wouldnt make a trip out of my way, but if youre around the arts district and havent been, its worth spending at least 15-20 minutes. Very clean, friendly staff. Awesome samurai armor and elephant tusk carving.

This place is very cool. While not massive, it does contain some highly detailed, historic, and interesting pieces all the way from antiquity to contemporary. When renovations are done Ill have to visit again to see what additions there are

This place was really nice and friendly, I really enjoyed my stay, it was free for admission but did take tips, loved that concept. All in all, I had a great time learning about some of Chinese culture like in the Qing dynasty and Confucius

Review №50

Really enjoyed the exhibit, especially the jadeite and ceramics. It might have been nice to have a different piece representing Shen Long (is his name really the same as the spirit dragon?), than a few mass produced Bowie knives with what appears to be scribbles with a an engraving tool. Not the best first impression of an artist.

It was free, and the lady at the front was very nice, held our drinks for us, and told us the best route to see the museum. In addition to that, theyve got some really cool art there and the interior design really compliments the pieces.

Review №52

Another free museum in downtown Dallas. It has some beautiful Chinese chests, jade carvings, and other artwork. I was hoping for Japanese artwork but did not find any. The area has construction work in progress so it is a little difficult to walk around especially if you have a cane or walker.

Cool little spot if youre into Asian culture and want to see a lot of cool artwork and some notes on heritage. There is a nice store at the end of the tour too that has a lot of unique gift ideas.

I go every few years and its such a beautiful little gem in downtown Dallas. The relatively new gift shop is a nice addition. They have a notable selection of tea pot sets. As for the museum itself its not very big and one can take in the whole place comfortably in about an hour or so. The standout piece is this rather large facade of sandlewood if I remember correctly. A stunning fixture that is about 25 ft wide and 15 ft tall. Its housed in a hall of sorts which is used for regular gatherings like meditation and the such. So glad we have this place here in Dallas.

Review №64

Absolutely TERRIBLE SERVICE from ANDREW the Security Manager. It had just started to pour rain so I walked in there quickly to wait a few min for it to go away. I asked Andrew if it was ok for me to wait there (by the door) until it stops a bit, that way I’m able to walk to my work building. He was very rude and said “you can wait outside” when I mentioned that he was being rude/unprofessional, he laughed. I will not be returning as long as that rude man Andrew is there and I will definitely advise colleagues and friends not to as well. That man requires proper training for social skills.

Recently renovated, the crow is a gem. The collection is being reshuffled as the renovations are counting, but that on display is always stirring and thought provoking, ranging across all of Asia and ancient to modern. The new gift shop is a work of art itself.The museum sponsors a wide range of activities, from lectures and films to holiday festivals and even Tai Chi classes.I still think the museum could benefit from a cafe. Hopefully the new plans will accommodate one. Even without, this is one of the best attractions that the Art District has to offer.

Review №75

Going into the museum with open expectations, I initially expected the area to be small and confined to a single room. I was greatly surprised to find that the building had multiple floors, each focusing on different aspects of Asian culture. The best part of the museum, by far, was the fact they currently had actual Tibetan Monks in residency; and guests were not only invited to come observe religious practices, but also to interact with the monks and learn about their believes, and homelands.

Big surprises does come in small packages! Even though Crow Collection is one the smallest museums I have been, it also has one of the finest Asian art collection I have seen. The Dallas Museum of Art is right around the corner if you want to hit two birds with one stone and save on parking.

Im so excited for the renovations to be done! I like the layout of the museum. The layout makes sense and it makes it easier to appreciate the art. I also like the section where you get to make art.

I always visit Nasher, DMA, and this place in one trip. Artwork, porcelains, and sculptures found here have different style and quality from other places. I love the variety of art style I can find in Dallas area. I highly recommend you to come in and spend some time. Some areas in this museum might be closed and be reopened later, so check with their schedules as well. As long as I remember entry is free and you can take photographs in here as well.

Review №95

Their hours changed so we showed up about 30 minutes before closing, but we still had time to go through the museum. One floor was closed for renovations, so I took my time on the first floor while my kids and husband rushed through the first and third floors. In 30 minutes, I got to read most of the plaques for the items on the first floor, which was Japanese art. The employees were very friendly and it was free to get in. So, even though the museum is small, it is a must-see and good experience.

While it was under renovation, the quality of the exhibits was outstanding. More than just a museum, the informational callouts and detailed information allow you to tie what you see into the history of the country they highlight, giving it more relevance.
