As visitors enter the Balloon Museum in South Dallas, they are immediately immersed in an inflatable, colorful world.

After two years touring Europe and other parts of the United States, the museum is now in North Texas. At least until April 26, 2026.

In its “Let’s Fly: Art has No Limits,” the museum explores air not as only a physical element, but a symbol of movement and limitless travel within people.

Horse balloons hang above the entrance of the Balloon Museum before patrons move through a mirrored walkway, with colorful bubbles projected on the walls and ceilings.
