We recently saw that the Dallas Museum of Art put together an online map called "Dallas: Art Outdoors" which showcases works of public, outdoor art you can safely enjoy during quarantine since the museum doors are currently closed.
So, whether you're a sophisticated art connoisseur or you just need an adventure to get you out of the house for a bit, check out these 13 pieces of public art you can see either from a distance or from your car.
*Download the map from the Dallas Museum of Art here so you can go on your own driving tour! Included on the map is information about where the works are located, who created them, and what the art means. The map also includes links to videos and articles with more information about the pieces and the artists themselves.
