Crow Collection of Asian Art
As part of our explorations of the Dallas Arts District, we visited - and thoroughly enjoyed - the Crow Collection. It has incredible Jade sculptures, and a nice range of Chinese, Japanese, Burmese and Indian art works.
Here are some recent pics:
A calming fountain, in the middle of the area:
A large dragon between wings:
An Indian temple strut inlay:
Some great architectural woodwork (Indonesia? Burma? India?, not sure), from 2 perspectives:
We think The Crow Collection is the product of one couple's collecting; now on rotating (and always free) display to the public.

We also went for Chinese New Year Friday night Arts District party there, when the place was packed. It was great fun.

The intricate woodworking in the last pic is really amazing. I wonder what kind of tools were used?
Craig -
This just in. We went back to the Crowe and I found the display card.
The carved structure is not wood but sandstone, from Mogul era India.
This, and the carved Jade pieces from China, are amazing to me as examples of what is possible with skill and practice.
