University of Texas at Dallas. Crow collection of Asian art: Upholding the adage that “everything is bigger in Texas”, the Crow family has made a bumper gift to the University of Texas at Dallas. This comprises the Crow Museum of Asian Art in the Dallas Arts District, which the university will now run, and its collection of more than 1,000 works of Asian art assembled by the late Trammell and Margaret Crow, as well as a library of 12,000 books, journals and catalogues and $23m to open a second museum on campus. Dallas-born Trammell Crow, a property developer, became interested in Asian art on business trips to the continent, and he and Margaret began their collection—spanning ancient to contemporary works from 12 countries—in the 1960s. Highlights include Chinese jades and an 18th-century carved red sandstone facade from Rajasthan Courtesy of University of Dallas
