OVERVIEW
With its seamless blending of the interior and the exterior—of art, architecture and nature—Nasher Sculpture Center offers the perfect visual retreat to host a variety of spectacular events. Designed by award-winning architect Renzo Piano, the Nasher Sculpture Center features breathtaking galleries underneath barrel-vaulted, light-filtered glass ceilings, providing splendid natural lighting to this “museum without a roof.” Here, the Nasher’s monumental art collection flows seamlessly through delicate glass doors into the lush, tree-lined garden oasis. The result is 10,000 square feet of indoor space and 1.4 acres outdoor to host events of any scale, from intimate and serene to grand and festive.
