Dallas Museum of Art Exhibition Records
History
The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) has presented over 1,500 exhibitions throughout its distinguished history. Approximately 500 exhibitions were organized by the DMA from 1903-1983, reflecting the development of both the Museum and the city of Dallas, documenting a progression of cultural, social, and political environments throughout eight decades. Exhibition documentation is a primary resource for researchers of Contemporary Art, American Art and Texas Regionalist Art, African Art, Asian, South Pacific, Ancient Art, and European Art. Additional information about exhibitions may be found in the Dallas Museum of Art Archives, Exhibition Records collection.
About the Collection
The catalogs, which vary in length, contain a checklist of objects included in the exhibition, and may include essays and images. The collection also contains related unpublished materials including checklists, invitations, press releases, and other ephemera for exhibitions held by the museum between 1903 and 1990s.
