"If you take a stroll along Main Street in Downtown Dallas and get the sneaking suspicion that you’re being watched — you’re not wrong. Since the neighboring Joule Hotel installed the art piece in the summer of 2013, Dallas’ “Giant Eyeball” has been watching over its downtown residents and visitors while the city continues to transform around it. This 30-foot-tall sculpture created by multimedia artist Tony Tasset is a social media post waiting to happen. However, unlike some works of art, the eye is not symbolic of anything. Tasset insists the sculpture is simply “cool,” but ultimately meaningless. Kimbell Art Museum – The Kimbell Art Museum is Fort Worth’s equivalent of the DMA. And like the DMA, it’s impressive and the entrance is always free unless you plan to see special exhibits, which will run you about $15. Located off West Seventh Street, the Kimbell has works from some of history’s most-acclaimed artists, such as Monet and Picasso. It is even home to what is believed to be Michelangelo’s first known painting. Comprised of two buildings, the Kimbell is flooded with light and is considered a beautiful example for modern architecture. If you’d like to explore the art or architecture in more depth, the Kimbell does provide guided tours by appointment." - MATADOR_NETWORK
