Description:
|
CULTURAL DISTRICT. This museum was built in 1961 to house Fort Worth publisher Amon Carter's collection of Western art. Today, the holdings have increased greatly, and the striking museum (designed by Philip Johnson) houses masterworks by American painters, along with sculpture and graphic arts from the 19th and 20th centuries. Winslow Homer and Georgia O'Keeffe are represented at the facility, which is considered one of the nation's foremost repositories of American photography as well. Works by Ansel Adams and Laura Gilpin can be found, along with a terrific permanent collection of paintings and bronze statues by Frederick Remington. Traveling exhibitions and public programs may have fees. |
