As a resting spot, they've got clean restrooms, drinking water, and places to sit and relax. Then there are the art exhibits, showing a mixture of photography, paintings, and art installations depending on the ongoing series. This time around they had photography of local birds, artwork highlighting AAPI month, and one titled "Enlaced: The Language of Fiber" with threads and knots creating particularly vivid and creative imagery. While I didn't get a chance to, on that particular evening there was a spoken poetry performance. They were also hosting a dragon boat festival that weekend bringing folks around Texas and even some out of state teams partaking in race and festivities. With exhibits updating frequently and plenty of community events, it's definitely worth stopping by.

However, I was here for a more somber score. I was here with a few hundred to learn of the latest trends in Storm Spotting and weather RADAR analysis put on by local amateur radio clubs, the City of Garland and the Ft Worth Office of the National Weather Service. Some in my group would argue that severe weather systems are works of art as in their violence can be awe inspiring sights which are sometimes captured by camera. Of course there are also many photos of destruction after really bad storms. The center has clean restrooms, space for vendors to set up tables in the lobby and room for food trucks outside. The seating is very comfortable and was able to keep me happy for the full day of information presented to help keep our communities and us spotters safe.

Balcony seating was a nice addition to the overall ambiance.

He said if we had arrived a few minutes earlier he would have let us - by this point it was about 8:07 pm. When we told him our situation he said that he was on the Board of Trustees and couldn't do anything about it. He was clearly on a power trip and told us that the show was supposedly sold out even though there weren't many cars in the parking lot. I've been to many shows in different venues both nationally and internationally and even on Broadway they don't do this kind of bs. I'm very disappointed by this kind of treatment as it drives away community support.

I would recommend looking on Groupon for the best deal on admission prices. The prices for two people were good. They had insightful and beautiful art pieces throughout the museum. The staff were friendly and answered any questions we had. They have a couple of other exhibits available that you can pay for. We opted to stick with the main exhibit they offered. The museum had a wierd smell in some parts of the exhibit. I believe this was due to nearby trash bins and food preparation for an event. We enjoyed learning and viewing biblical and historical accounts from centuries ago. They have a big mural in the back of the museum that showcases influential people spanning decades which is worth checking out. Their gift shop ranges from affordable to pricey, however I enjoyed looking around for a souvenir. You could easily spend an hour or more here, the museum is all one story. They have a lovely garden (Via Dolorosa Sculpture Garden) adjacent to the museum with statues dedicated to Jesus marking his journey to the Cross. They have benches to sit throughout the garden surrounded by flowers and butterflies. They have a survivor tree dedicated to 9/11 victims and their families. The Scuplture Garden was peaceful, simple yet beautiful.
