Under the direction of Professor Richard Brettell (link to his site here), UT-Dallas is a member of FRAME (French Regional & American Museum Exchange). FRAME was formed in 1999 as a unique grouping of museums as a consortium of eighteen American and French regional museums.

This consortium is dedicated to promoting the circulation and exchange of works of art, information, ideas, technology and resources. Its objective is to establish long-term partnerships on common projects and make their respective resources available to a wider public on both sides of the Atlantic.

Past exhibitions have included Raphael and his Age (Cleveland, Aug – Nov, 2002 and Lille, May-July 2003), American Art (Bordeaux, Oct – Dec, 2001, Rennes, Jan – Mar, 2002 and Montpellier, Apr – Jun, 2202) and The Camerawork of Four American Masters (Strasbourg, Feb – Apr, 2002). Future planned exhibitions will include Modern Sculptures for the collections of museums of FRAME (Dallas, TX, Spring, 2003 and Strasbourg, Autumn, 2003) and The Bruyas collection from the Musée Fabre, Montpellier (Richmond, VA, Mar – Jun, 2004, Dallas, TX, July – Sept 2004, Williamstown, VA, Oct – Dec, 2004, and San Francisco, CA, Jan – Mar, 2005).
