3 Best Day Trips From Dallas | Condé Nast Traveler

"Spread across four acres of Hall Park, the Texas Sculpture Garden features 40 contemporary works by some of the state’s most prominent artists. When you first turn in, you might be confused by what appears to be an ordinary office complex. Don’t worry, you’re in the right place. There are three designated routes, all under two miles. If you can only do one, make it the yellow route, which takes you past ponds and fountains, through a wooded area, and to Joe Barrington’s sculpture “The Headlines Screamed, Bait House Disappears.” Rising up out of the water, a giant metallic fish clutches a brown fishing shack in its jaws. It’s more comical than menacing, and Barrington encourages the viewer to dream up their own version of events that led to the scene and “walk away with a smile.”" - Tommie Ethington, Diana Oates
