A
Kimbell Art Museum
Some art aficionados say this is the country’s best ‘small’ art museum while some say it’s one of the unqualified best. Take your time perusing: the stunning architecture lets in natural light that allows visitors to see paintings from antiquity to the 20th century the way the artists originally intended. European masterpieces include works by Caravaggio, El Greco and Cézanne, and Michelangelo’s first painting, The Torment of St Anthony.

Modern Museum of Fort Worth
Entering this museum, you round a corner from womblike, concrete galleries to be confronted by a two-story wall of glass looking out at the city skyline. One of the largest gallery spaces for modern art in the world, it houses an incredible number of provocative and mind-expanding works by luminaries such as Mark Rothko and Picasso. Can’t-miss pieces include Anselm Kiefer’s Book with Wings, Martin Puryear’s Ladder for Booker T Washington and Andy Warhol’s eponymous Twenty-Five Colored Marilyns. The museum restaurant, Café Modern, is drop-dead gorgeous, seeming to float on the water of the surrounding reflecting pools.

Amon Carter Museum
Pre-1945 American art shines at this museum, including iconic works by John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer and Alexander Calder, and an impressive collection of Western artist Frederic Remington’s work. Walking through the exhibits is like taking a visual tour of the US – from Yosemite National Park with Albert Bierstadt to New Mexico with Georgia O’Keeffe. Don’t miss the amazing collection of photographs.
