Open to the public as of October 20, 2003, the Nasher Sculpture Center is one of the few institutions in the world devoted to the exhibition, study, and preservation of modern sculpture. Conceived as a serene urban retreat for the enjoyment of modern art, the Sculpture Center is the home of the renowned Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection of modern and contemporary sculpture.
The collection - which numbers more than 300 sculptures together with twentieth-century paintings and drawings - is rotated in thematic installations throughout the Center's seamless blend of indoor and outdoor exhibition spaces: an elegant, light-filled 55,000 square-foot building designed by Renzo Piano and a spacious garden created by Peter Walker.
The Center has live music with extended hours on the first Saturday and the third Thursday of the month.
