Judd Foundation
Guided tours highlight Donald Judd’s spaces and works in town. Reserve ahead and arrive early since entry typically runs on set time slots.

A dedicated pull-off to watch for the mysterious Marfa Lights once the sky goes fully dark. Arrive near sunset, dress for wind, and expect a small crowd.
Must visit
Ballroom Marfa
A contemporary arts space with rotating exhibitions that’s easy to fit between tours. Check hours before you go since programming changes regularly.
Must visit
