The Meadows Museum is the largest collection of Spanish Art outside the Iberian Peninsula. It was a gift from the Dallas Oil Man, Algur Meadows. It is said that in the early 1950s he went to Spain in search of oil and the oil that he found was on canvases.
I love the museum. The building is a classic box-style museum, very symmetrical, with a massive stone staircase in the middle of the building.

Admission is free on Thursday nights. They also have a nice program of free lectures that are frequently also on Thursday. The programs are listed on the website.
The Museum is tucked away on the southern end of the SMU campus. Parking is under the Museum. The entry to the parking garage is on the south side of the building. If you miss it the first time, just circle around and come back and try again!
