Ballroom Marfa is always in pursuit of interesting and out-of-the-box ideas. When in Marfa, immerse in the town's rich cultural scene with a visit to this extraordinary museum.
This gallery is a landmark and a must-visit for any tourist heading to Marfa. The workings of the gallery are inspired by the long-term vision of artist Donald Judd, who settled in Marfa in 1986. You too will be inspired by the splendid works of art displayed here. The Foundation has been built on 340 acres (137.59 hectares) of land, which housed Fort D.A. Russell at one time. You will be amazed at concrete and aluminum works by Donald Judd, the large installation by Dan Flavin, and the sculptures by John Chamberlain. You can also admire the art of others like Ingólfur Arnarsson, Ilya Kabakov, and David Rabinowitch.
One of the most scenic areas in Texas lies in the Northeastern Chihuahuan Desert. Here in the Davis Mountains you can observe the "sky-island," a range that rises above the desert. The conservatory is also home to wild animals like the black bear, mountain lion, Golden Eagle, and Montezuma Quail. This preserve is also important to the West Texas ranching legacy, as well as maintaining the dark skies for the University of Texas McDonald Observatory. Conveniently located less than a three hour drive away from the Permian Basin, the Nature Conservatory of the Davis Mountains is a must-see.
