The Meadows Museum is located on the Southern Methodist University campus in Dallas, Texas, and specialises in Spanish art. The museum was founded in 1965 and is widely known for its comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings, sculptures and decorative arts.

The collection covers works from the medieval period to the 20th century and includes paintings by major Spanish artists that form the core of the museum’s displays. The museum hosts rotating exhibitions, educational programmes and scholarly work focused on Spain’s visual heritage.

The museum sits on the SMU campus in the University Park area of Dallas and is accessible from the surrounding city by car and public transport.
