New signage for DMA

[aceplace]

Folks, it looks like the Dallas Museum of Art has really improved its image with new signs both outside and inside the building.

Inside, they have new signs directing people to different sections of the museum, even pointing out the new Nasher Museum. But outside, they have done wonders. They have several new DMA signs in 3 colors that say "Dallas Museum of Art", with a red, blue and green color scheme.

But the Flora street entrance is stunning. It has been opened up by removing some side walls, it has the name of the museum in lighted letters over the entrance, and it has 4 new massive signboards with a reproduction of a painting on each side. The picture is greater than life size and brilliantly lit.

And the urban space between the Crow museum, the Nasher museum and the DMA has become a comfortable, intimate outdoor living room, someplace that makes you want to linger, maybe sit down with a paper cup of coffee, or chat with a friend...

Well, done, Dallas!

Thanks for the update! If anyone can post any pics for us "out-of-towners"... that would be great. Would love to see it!

Ace,
That is something that I mentioned in the Pending Projects List Thread (http://forum.dallasmetropolis.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=5840) , though I had no seen the completed product until this evening. It really looks great. It is well lit and certainly more inviting than before.

I walked by tonight, it's definitely a marked improvement! It's gone from an impenatrable fortress to an entrance that really looks pretty inviting! And it's framing on the street is really, really nice. The Nasher really looks just about done now, particularly in that area, and my GOD!!!! I'm so, unbelievable impressed. Everything about it is a work of timeless art. It's one of those things that you see and its like "THIS is one of the world's treasures." And it's right here! I cannot wait for it to open. I will be there opening day. It must be a spiritual experience to be inside that area - even the outside makes you want to bow to the craftmenship and artistry.

B&P, it is sweet on the inside...I think we posted earlier...but the last time we had a forum meeting...which troy attended..we snuck into the unfinished nasher sculpture garden...it was very impressive then...and far from complete, in terms of sculptures. I can hardly wait for the official opening.
