| BUILDING ON THE BOULEVARD: CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF THE MEADOWS’S NEW HOME THROUGH JUNE 20, 2021 The inauguration of the building in 2001 was a defining moment for the Meadows—join us as we celebrate this milestone and take a look back at the achievements made possible by this vital structure. Upstairs, the permanent collection of Spanish masterpieces that brought a king and queen to Dallas will be newly reinstalled to feature highlights from the 250 exceptional works the Meadows has acquired over the last two decades, while downstairs the exhibition will feature architectural drawings as well as renderings and commemorative installations and materials celebrating the impressive international loan exhibitions, innovations in educational programming, and other significant achievements of the past twenty years. This exhibition has been organized by the Meadows Museum, SMU, Dallas, and is funded by a generous gift from The Meadows Foundation. |
