Bottom line: not worth the price or time.
Said "good morning" to the employee at the front desk and he never looked up. Had to wait quite some time while the young man on his phone/watch finished his personal business. As we continued to stand and wait to pay, he said "you all need somethin?" This was not the right guy to have greeting customers at the entrance. The ladies upstairs were helpful and friendly, though.
Beautiful building! Even to appreciate the building from the outside is worth a walk by.
I've lived in Dallas my whole life and never visited until now. I really enjoyed it, learned some cool things, and will definitely go back.
3 Poorly arranged museum layout with mostly fabricated exhibits. Meaning there's little "historic" content, most of it is boards, screens, maps, and cards made to show information that they don't have artifacts for.
2) The two gentlemen at the guest services desk were not helpful or friendly.
1) Too expensive for less than mediocre exhibits.
As a new part-time Dallas resident, I've been playing tourist and hitting some of the local spots for visitors while trying to learn more about the area. The exhibits at the Old Red Museum were exactly what I needed in order to get a better sense of the history of Dallas. The second floor galleries each have videos that are interesting and well done and that give both the mainstream history and some now almost forgotten bits, like the utopian colony of Reunion. Pictures and artifacts are well selected to give a sense of the conditions of life over time. Attention to Native American, African American, and ethnic communities is interesting and generally frank and honest -- I wish there was even more.
