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.

There are so many great options for museums and entertainment within a very small area. The Fort Worth Botanical Gardens is just to the south of the Will Rogers Coliseum, The Amon Carter Museum, Natural Science Museum (great for kids), Kimball Art Museum and Modern Art Museum are all within a couple of blocks of each other. It's a great place to spent some time.

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!!!
