Arlington, TX

It's fairly safe to say that there's no relationship like the one you and your mate share. In a sense, it's a work of art that is constantly in progress. Celebrate that uniqueness by spending a romantic evening strolling through the Arlington Museum of Art. Housed in a beautiful mid-century building in old downtown Arlington, the museum is a celebration of all of the different cultures that have made Texas such a vibrant place to live. Tracing many of its featured works to the past while always looking forward, the paintings and mixed media exhibits are as thought-provoking as they are visually appealing. You and your mate will never be at a loss for words talking about the art on the walls, not to mention the art that's in your hearts.
