Best Arts and Culture Places 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."

"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."

When you visit this community, be sure to take a stroll down Inspiration Alley, and don’t forget to look up, down, and all around for colorful murals that cover the walls and creativity that impacts the entire area."

"You can find this large Dream on Dreamer mural on the sidewall of the Art Room Gallery at 5702 Locke Street which is co-owned by the artist, Katie Murray.

It sometimes serves as a special event space and public art venue, but it’s mostly just a wonderful little pocket of nature in the heart of the city."
