Reviews
Awesome place, so quiet. I love the different exhibitions. Many places to sit. I haven't eaten here yet though. The atmosphere is great.
The Kimbell Art Museum is a treasure trove of artistic brilliance, boasting a stunning collection that spans centuries and continents. With its world-class exhibits, the museum offers an enriching experience for visitors of all ages. What sets it apart is its accessibility—entry is free, making it an ideal destination for school tours and budget-conscious explorers. The museum's captivating architecture and meticulously curated displays make it a must-visit for anyone with a passion for culture and creativity.
It's free on days when there are no exhibits. It is a eclectic collection from across the world. I went on a gloomy Thursday morning and it wasn't super busy. It's a wonderful way to spend time in Fort Worth.
I love this museum! Was really wowed by the Mayan exhibition!!! It was beyond amazing!! My son is half Guatemalan, and it was a great opportunity to engage with his heritage! They have great pieces in their general collection as well!! Fantastic museum with great art! The buildings are beautiful!! I go back as often as I can even when they don't have any special exhibition! Every time I discover something new!!
The building architecture is one of a kind and stands out more than their collections they exhibit, cuz most of the sections were under maintenance.
One of my favorite museums in the DFW area. The Modern is worth a visit even between special exhibitions. These photos reflect pieces from the permanent connection.
Very beautiful. Some of the art confused me. Some I found surprising, and some were inspiring.
If you like cowboys and Indians this place is for you.
Worked the Fort Worth Stock and Rodeo show with Chevy. If you’re attending, come early in the weekend as it gets busy. There is a lot of vendors and a lot of activities for families.
An absolutely beautiful world class art museum that still has a somewhat intimate feel, the Kimbell attracts amazing special exhibitions, plus admission to its permanent collection is always free. The Kimbell lawn and fountain/gazing pool are also lovely.
Kimball Art Museum is one of my favorite museums to visit to see the exhibitions of world-renowned artists. The exhibitions with ancient artifacts are very interesting and unique. I have never been disappointed. The staff is always very informative and polite. The design of the museum is breathtaking. I would recommend becoming a member so you can partake of all the extra special activities available.
I could spend a week at The Modern and not be able to take it all in. The space itself is a tribute to art. The architecture of the building supports the works that are displayed inside.
Although the Kimbell Art Museum has a relatively small collection of around 350 works of art, they cover collections from Asia, Ancient America and Europe covering thousands of years. The buildings architecture is also unique and adds to the pleasure of a visit. The Museum also has a souvenir shop and an excellent cafe. Parking is easy and admission fees are very reasonable. A definite pleasure to visit this place.
Went on the last day of a wonderful exhibition-Jaune Quick-To-See Smith. Her pieces and the free scannable tour were great. There is an entrance fee which allows you to go to any part of the museum. The permanent collection is good as well. I did not love the order of the tour, but I figured that out quickly.
The cafe served lunch til 3. The Stock Show was going on across the street, so I gave myself plenty of time to find parking- got a spot in the museum lot, no fee! There are 2 other world class museums less than 3 blocks away and other nice restaurants within a half mile.

Bonnard exhibit was wonderful! We drove a long way to get here. It was wonderful!
Very interesting. I'm a history buff and enjoy museums. I'm glad to see the story boards weren't politically correct and told the story as seen through the eyes of that day. History is history, let's not try to sanitize it and try make like it didn't happen. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
First off, the story of the guy this museum is named for is fascinating and second their collection and building are top-notch. My favorites were the Warhol and Ruscha. It’s also a good place to grab some lunch
I just finished an appt nearby, and I needed to use the restroom while walking to a bus stop, and this wonderful place let me use their restroom. I’ve never been here before, and let me tell you, it is something to see! It’s gorgeous! You should definitely come see it if you can! They have amazing customer service as well! I didn’t have to find anyone or ask anyone anything! As soon as I walked in, the man at the front desk asked me how he could help me today! 5 star service!
The architecture alone merits a visit, as it was designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadau Ando . The moat at twilight reflects the blue glittering words of the site-specific Jennie Holzer, which is aptly named Kinda Blue. You can see it from across the grounds outside the restaurant even when they’re not open. BTW the restaurant is also fabulous and shouldn’t be missed.
The Kimbell always has wonderful exhibits and Symposiums are very interesting. The current exhibit (Bonnard's Worlds) was fantastic!
Fabulous museum with incredible exhibits. If you have an appreciation for art do yourself a favor and set aside a few hours to spend here. I barely saw everything in two hours and I was moving a bit quick.
Very enjoyable experience. Good mix of paintings and sculpture. Impressive collection and very friendly staff. Plenty of space to view the works with others. Recommended!
I really enjoyed a day trip at the Amon Carter Museum. I'm a graphic designer, and the exhibit and installation pieces really inspire my line of work.
Small but nice museum. My favorite part, is they provide a postcard and send it for free. I sent a nice card back home. The admission was also free.
A great educational visit of their permanent collection. They now have a few NEW acquisitions.
Super interesting exhibits, some permanent and some rotating, plus it's free. Perfect spot for a day date - has a nice lawn area out front too that we sat on for a bit. Wasn't crowded at all on a weekday afternoon, gave us plenty of time to look at everything and move at our own pace. It's close to other art museums downtown as well - finding the parking was the only tricky part, but I feel like that's par for the course with any place downtown.
This is my favorite art museum in the DFW area. They have a fantastic collection of art (ranging from ancient Asian, to classical European, to modern sculptures). The size of the campus is great, and you do not feel so overwhelmed by the amount of things you need to see.
Even on busy days, you will not feel lost in a crowd. The interior of the building is engineered in such a way that you are not overwhelmed by noise or people on their busy days.

100° day; 2 18 year olds… one tired mama. The museum was closing and the kids only got to spend about 45 minutes. They want to go back!! Much appreciation for the art collection. We appreciate the reality of the American West. I am partial to Remington while the kids loved Russell. We live in Fort Worth and will go back to spend more time.
Great museum with a large collection of art from all areas, as well as a large exhibit hall for traveling exhibits. Friendly staff and clean facilities. Beautiful building! Audio tours available and in person tours happen as well. Membership is well worth it if you visit frequently for the traveling exhibits! The regular collections are free to visit.

I anticipated visiting this exhibit for weeks. It far exceeded my expectations. The ancient Mayan civilization has always fascinated me and these artifacts were spectacular.
Free admission. This museum is small but packed with beautiful art from Europe and Asia. Pieces from many of the Italian Renaissance masters, monet and many others. Had ancient Egyptian, Indian, Chinese and Asian cultural pieces.
Gorgeous! The permanent collection is first rate for a fairly small city, and the Maya exhibit was phenomenal!
Mayan Art exhibit is INCREDIBLE!!!! The day-to-day part of the museum is also impressive. I travel from Plano to see the art, it's well worth the time and distance!
The Kimble Art Museum is a renowned building. The architect of the building, Louis Kahn paid special attention to the details of textures and lighting. People come from all around the world to visit this building and we are lucky to have this museum so close to us. I have come here more times than I can count. There is a free section which are the paintings and sculptures that are at the museum all of the time and then, they have the exhibit section which is one that needs to be paid for. They offer a membership as well. There is a newer addition to the art museum done by the famous architect, Renzo Piano which is a beautiful building as well. They also have a cafe in the museum with great food and really good tea. I would highly recommend coming to this museum.
It's one of the best art museums I've been to of all time. The architecture of the building itself had me awe-struck. The selection of art is diverse and gorgeous. There's an outdoor portion and two gorgeous buildings. Additionally, the entrance fee is free!
Seems like when I went on a Sunday there was a family and friends event that brought in lots of kids and families. And they even had free ice cream from Melt when I was there!

If you enter on a Sunday, the entrance fee is half off. I enjoyed the art at this museum but what more gorgeous than anything is the concrete building itself. It has a museum cafe/restaurant that overlooks the water artwork in the most iconic part of the courtyard.
This was my first time. I enjoyed myself so much. The Exhibit was amazing we saw Divinity in Maya Art. The staff was so nice!
Thank you for bringing this exhibit to Ft. Worth. I am looking forward to going back to see the other artwork.

It is a small museum with only 2 rooms to display paintings and a few bronze sculptures from the collection of Sid Richardson. The docent was heard explaining some of the works to other visitors and offered good services to us too. But we were short on time as we had a flight to catch. The western paintings by Charles Russell and Frederic Remington were impressive and the short descriptions of each of the paintings help in understanding the details. Apparently the displays are changed often. There is a self portrait of Frederic Remington and a bronze sculpture of Charles Russell. It was worth the quick stop.
My first visit got the Amon Carter Museum. Entry is free. There is a recommended donation box off to the side as you enter.
I had to move fast as I didn’t have much time. It’s not large a museum. I would think 45-90 mins would be enough for most people.
Mix of art mediums and time periods covered. It’s an American art museum so by definition you are not looking at ancient artifacts. Some modern art. I saw some pieces from this year.
There is a small gift shop. It sells some drinks and food I think but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a cafe.
There is a parking lot and overflow parking both are free.

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff.
This is a small gallery but worth the visit.
And they are one of the only museums in Fort Worth open on Monday so don’t pass up a weekday viewing when downtown!

It's a museum with a free entry right next to the Modern Art Museum. The architecture on the second floor is amazing with small hidden gardens around. You also get to go to a garden to pass to the Pavillon. The collection is amazing, and they also have works of many European artists such as Monet, Manet, Richter, and others. There is also a cafe where you could grab a house made refreshing drink for 2 Dollars.
It’s definitely worth to visit the Kimbell Art Museum. The museum has always interesting exhibitions.
Beside the museum itself, the surrounding area is beautiful and good for a walk or for taking some nice pictures!
Especially during evening hours it’s a quiet and beautiful place to stay for a moment
This is another tiny but mighty museum in the US. I don't consider this museum as a big one but they have such a great collection. I am a big fan of European paintings and was surprised at quantity of them. Especially, there were enough impressionism. I loved this museum so much so went 2 days in a row. I was lucky to be there while exhibition of 'Turner's Modern World' was ongoing. Highly recommend to anyone who's visiting Fort Worth, TX.

Get thee to the museum!

The Texas Prairie Grass inspired exhibition just opened and be prepared to be captivated. As an outdoor inspired Texan, this show spoke to my heart in the language that reads nature in all her mystery. I could hear the wind and feel the Prairie Grasses of my grandparents' pastures as my eyes and heart devoured each inch of this space.
If abstraction is more to your liking, head up the rainbow 🌈 topped stairs to the recently opened mid-century sculptural and lithograph pieces to see what they become with your viewing.
And see if, like me, your mind goes wild with conjecture as you walk up the ramps lined with an installation designed specifically for this space at the Amon Carter. As always, the museum is free but welcomes donations!

Great small gallery. Admission is free. Friendly staff. Currently showing Fredrick Remington artworks.
The lunch restaurant within the Kimbell is amazing! I always take out of town guests there. And the art!! Omygosh! We are so blessed to have a top-notch, world class museum!
Good art museum if you’re a fan of Western art such as Remington, horses, cowboys. Miscellaneous displays of other American art lack focus. Not enough of any one type of thing to make up a whole room. The building itself lacks interesting architectural features and is reminiscent of state university buildings of the modern era. Veranda area seems empty and wasted but useful for events. Beautiful view. I got the impression the Carter museum lacks support, big donors, or direction. But maybe they have plans. Perfect location. Easy to get to on the culture trolley.
Fort Worth has some of the finest art museums in the country. As a Fort Worth resident I frequent those museums several times a year but for whatever reason The Sid Richardson Art Museum slips my mind. It could be because this museum is located near Sundance Square and the other museums are in the Cultural District. I went recently to The Sid Richardson to view the Magnificent artwork and sculptures of the Old West of Frederic Remington, Charles Marion Russell & many others. Currently because of Covid, you have to call for reservations to gain entrance to the museum, but it is well worth it. To see a Remington sculpture or a Russell painting up close is a treat. Whether visiting or if a resident of Fort Worth, a trip to The Sid Richardson to explore a bygone era is time well spent.
