About Perot Museum of Nature and Science
The Perot Museum of Nature and Science is in Dallas’s arts district, next to Klyde Warren Park. The building, by Thom Mayne, is a concrete cube on a base of stones and native plants, with a glass escalator projecting from the façade offering views of downtown.
The museum has eleven permanent halls on paleontology, with dinosaurs found in Texas and Alaska, geology, energy, the human body, Texas wildlife, engineering and space. Many exhibits are hands-on, with simulators and activities for children and teens.
The roof collects rainwater, and the landscaping shows plants adapted to the region’s dry climate.
