Fort Worth's premier art museum, featuring paintings from international painters.

I’m a museum maven and was expecting a good one. But the delight was in the details. For starters the Renoir exhibition has some old favorites last seen elsewhere. It was the ambiance of warm proximity to the master that was different. And better. Visiting old favorites in a laid back space gave them a fresh look. As for the facility: Our backstage look at the careful planning and meticulously maintained structures where a sparkling new Renzo Piano pavilion suppléments the grandiose Louis Kahn galleries was accompanied by a wealth of happily shared expertise from the brilliant Senior Deputy Director. It will be interesting indeed to revisit the Reniors back at their more formal Clark home. As got the Kimbell-Go for the architecture. Stay for the attitude. How to feel at home, even cozy, in the presence of genius.

The Amon Carter has just undergone a complete renovation of the museum itself. This facility renovation has provided a new platform to allow a redesign in the way the art is grouped and displayed along with some updated lighting. Amon Carter, the man, was a great supporter of Fort Worth and used his wealth to accumulate an extensive collection of American Art and display it for all to enjoy. Don't pass up the opportunity to view this collection.

Loved this museum!!! From the interactive bonuses to the iconic cowgirls, this place is not your average rodeo!! Loved seeing the outfits worn, reading about inductees, looking at spectacular cowgirl art and experiencing what it meant and continues to mean to be called a cowgirl!! Museum has free parking and is handicapped accessible. Beautiful bronzes surround this beautiful building so walk around and look at them as well. The gift shop has great merchandise and is very reasonable. Staff are knowledgeable and are willing to answer any questions. There is an audio tour you can take on your phone that has great added information. You should really stop in for a great morning or afternoon in Ft Worth!! This is a treasure!!!

This museum is one of the best places for contemporary art in the country. A remarkable Tadao Ando building, a fantastic collection, and super interesting rotating exhibitions. It is worth a trip to Fort Worth just to visit The Modern.

Entertaining, interactive exhibits to inspire appreciation for science and history in visitors of all ages.
Reviewed By ransom007 - Anaheim, United States
Parking cost $10 but there are many museums and other attractions in the Will Rogers Memorial Center (it is an area, not a building). The museum has 2 levels. The lower level is the admission area, gift shop, and exhibits that are more oriented toward children. The upper level has the history and space exhibits.
