Mordern, Free, Best Art Museums in Eagle Mountain Lake

"My 2 favorite art museums are the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Kimball Art Museum. Both museums do a nice job of making the art relatable to children with children’s scavenger hunts and on site docents. My children enjoyed the Modern’s exhibits as they were so unique & different. They have works by Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, & Andy Warhol."

"Closed Mondays, New Year’s Day, July 4, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Fort Worth has several great museums, but the Kimbell is probably the best-known. In fact, it’s routinely called one of the best small museums in the country."

"Housed in a stunning Tadao Ando building, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth opened in 2002 and is dedicated to international modern and contemporary art. The 53,000-square feet of exhibition space typically shows off up to 150 works at a time—you can expect to see big names like Gerhard Richter, Pablo Picasso, Cindy Sherman, or Richard Serra on any given day. The museum is also home to an excellent restaurant."

"Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth features a collection of international art pieces from contemporary to modern. It leads to displaying and collecting art from 1940 to the present day. The museum has elegant glass, steel, and concrete- designed architecture."

"This building was designed in 2002 by world-renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando. It has a 1.5 acre pond and a 53,000-square-foot gallery. The modern style relies on geometric shapes, minimal materials and the use of the environment."

"The Amon Carter Museum of American Art holds incredible Remington and Russell western pieces you;d expect to be in “Cowtown”, but it also holds an American art collection as diverse as our country. For art outside the U.S., the Kimbell Art Museum contains paintings and sculptures from the best of the best, including Michelangelo, Picasso, Frida, Van Gogh and Monet. You won’t believe it!. And the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth holds a vast collection of artwork that will blow your mind."

"Situated at the highest point of the Cultural District, the Amon Carter Museum's front porch is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike to enjoy views of the Fort Worth skyline and surroundings. The building's main gallery faces the porch, supported by five tapered columns. The building underwent a large addition in 2001, adding several exhibit spaces behind the main gallery in addition to a two-level, square, domed lobby."

"A must for art lovers, as well as fans of the Wild West, the Sid Richardson Museum displays artwork compiled by collector Sid Richardson between 1942 and 1959. Housed in a replica of an 1880s building, the museum consists primarily of works by American artists Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, who famously captured the spirit of the west in their late 19th- and early 20th-century paintings. The collection's pieces show the action, drama, and scenes of daily life in the historical west, including many fine examples by lesser-known artists."

"Fort Worth is serious about its Western art, as the Sid Richardson Museum can attest. Situated just off Sundance Square, this small museum houses the collection of late oilman and philanthropist, Sid Richardson. The collection focuses on the works of Frederic Remington and Charles Russell but includes pieces from other notables of the American West, such as Peter Hurd and Frank Tenney Johnson."

"While browsing Sundance Square, hit up this free museum that is full of art from the American West. Sid Richardson Museum has both a permanent art collection and special exhibits that all feature Western artists and art like paintings and sculptures."

"Let’s get back into the city center and check out a few aesthetic places. If you want to have a quiet afternoon appreciating and looking at different art styles, then we got the Arlington Museum of Art for you!. The object of the focus of the Arlington Museum of Art is mainly the different contemporary arts of Texas."

"Gallery 414 offers an art space for contemporary art exhibitions in various media and subject matter. They offer a non-commercial art space for new and known artists. The gallery provides an avenue for them to showcase their masterpieces."

"Ampersand breathes new, dangerously entertaining life into the timeless phrase, business in the front, party in the back. A peek through their window from the street shows a wonderfully decorated, cozy coffee shop with art pieces adorning cream-colored walls and verdure adding vibrant touches of green throughout the room. But a trip around back, hidden just beyond the guise of a funky patterned front counter, will reveal the truth behind one of cowtown’s most buzz-worthy nightlife destinations."

"Known for its business in the front/party in the back mentality, and a motto of Rise & Grind, Ampersand opened in West Seventh with a legit speakeasy in the back that comes to life after hours. The location on University is “only business” however, where co-eds set up their laptops and stay awhile. Ampersand’s full array of specialty drinks include the Honey Latte, which adds natural sweetness to the classic latte."

"Not only does Ampersand roast its own beans using a unique process called air-roasting, but it also pushes coffee to its limits by pairing it with complementary liquors. According to co-owner Mimi Lu, the concept aims to “cater to both avid coffee drinkers and connoisseurs both” with morning coffee and late-night coffee cocktails. We’re fans of any place where you can get a buzz both in the a.m."
