Not far north of the area is the [[Meadows Museum]] at Southern Methodist University. In 2009, it joined up with Madrid's [[Museo del Prado|Prado Museum]] for a three-year partnership. The Prado focuses on Spanish visual art and has a collection of Spanish art in North America, with works by de Juanes, El Greco, Fortuny, Goya, Murillo, Picasso, Pkensa, Ribera, Rico, Velasquez, Zurbaran, and other Spaniards.

These works, as well as non-Spanish highlights like sculptures by Rodin and Moore, have been so successful of a collaboration that the Prado and Meadows have agreed upon an extension of the partnership.<ref>{{cite press release | url = http://www.smu.edu/News/2012/meadows-prado-agreement-13july2012 | title = Prado and Meadows Museum announce expansion of partnership – SMU | date = July 13, 2012| work = [[Southern Methodist University]] | via = www.smu.edu | access-date=May 11, 2013}}</ref>

A major art infusion in the area results from the city's lax stance on [[graffiti]], and a number of public spaces, including tunnels, sides of buildings, sidewalks, and streets, are covered in murals.

===Libraries===
The city is served by the [[Dallas Public Library]] system. The system was created by the Dallas Federation of Women's Clubs with efforts spearheaded by then president [[May Dickson Exall]]. Her fundraising efforts led to a grant from philanthropist and steel baron [[Andrew Carnegie]], which allowed the library system to build its first branch in 1901.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://dallaslibrary2.org/about/history.php|title=Library History|publisher=Dallas Public Library|access-date=February 29, 2024}}</ref>
