Flopsy and Mopsy Move into the Museum
Published March 28, 2016 Collections 1 CommentTags: Bunnies, Dallas Museum of Art, DMA, Rabbits, spring
Did the weekend leave you feeling EGG-static?Did you have a HOP-ening time? Perhaps a little cottontail or two bounced by and left you some yummy treats hidden in eggs. One thing is certain, the DMA’s galleries are overflowing with bunny foo foos and rascally rabbits this spring! You’d best look quick—they are bound to be springing from one painting to the next, scooping up field mice and bopping them on the head.

From Behind the Shadow
Published February 2, 2016 Collections ClosedTags: Dallas Museum of Art, DMA, Groundhog Day, spring
You know the old saying “January showers bring February flowers,” or at least that’s what the phrase should be this year according to Punxsutawney Phil. The famous groundhog did not see his shadow this morning, which means we should be in for an early spring. If the warm weather we’ve been experiencing in Dallas is any indication of Phil’s accuracy, we’ll see spring scenes like the ones below in no time.

Even though our galleries had “the day off,” today the Museum hosted Art in Bloom, the Dallas Museum of Art League’s annual symposium and luncheon. The springtime event provides generous support for the League’s Floral Endowment and the Museum’s exhibitions and educational programs.

Schedule Soon for the Spring
Published March 25, 2010 Museum Insight ClosedTags: Go van Gogh, spring, teacher workshop, tours
It’s hard to believe that there are only a few months of school left. The spring is always a very busy time for us, and this year is no exception. This is a good opportunity to let you know what types of programs for students and teachers are still available for the 2009-2010 school year.
Go van Gogh
All Go van Gogh programs have been booked for the spring.
Museum Visits
There are a limited number of times still available for docent-guided Museum visits. Many of these slots are during the month of April, so this is the best time to bring your students to visit The Lens of Impressionism. We have a very limited number of docent-guided openings in the month of May, and most of them are during the 1:00 p.m. time slot.
If you are unable to schedule a docent-guided visit to the Museum, schedule a self-guided visit. We have a self-guided tour resource available online that you can use to guide your students through the DMA.
To request a docent-guided or self-guided visit for your students, you will need to submit an Online Visit Request Form as soon as possible. Remaining spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Programs for Teachers
We will have two additional Thursday evening programs for teachers. Visit our Web site to learn more.
We also have one more Teacher Workshop scheduled for this year. Exploring Photography: The Lens of Impressionism is a two-part workshop offered on April 24th and May 1st. Teachers will spend time in The Lens of Impressionism with Dr. Terry Barrett. Photographer and educator Frank Lopez will also demonstrate the ambrotype process. Reserve your spot now before remaining spaces fill.
We hope to see you and your students at the DMA this spring!

It’s almost spring, and the flora is just about to bloom here at the Museum. I’ve captured some of the blossoming trees along with some perpetual blossoms on vases in our Japanese Meiji period gallery. Enjoy!
