While traveling through Texas, lovers of modern art should not miss the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, one of the largest museums of modern art in the country. It hosts over 3,000 objects, from paintings to sculptures, photographs, videos and prints. Most of the works are dated between 1945 and the present. The collection presents all the international major movements, including Abstract Expressionism; Neo-Expressionism; New Image Painting; British, French, German and American Pop; Minimalism; Post-Minimalism, Conceptualism and Color Field Painting.
The Modern Art Museum is located in Fort Worth’s Cultural District, opposite to the Kimbell Art Museum and near Amon Carter Museum, in a modern building, comprised of five flat-roofed, long pavilions. The transparent walls of glass allow natural light to enter within gallery spaces and give visitors a unique landscape view over the gardens and the large pond outside the Museum.
The Museum is closed on Mondays and during official holidays but can be visited any other day from 10 am to 5 pm, except from September to November and February to April, when on Tuesdays it’s open until 7 pm. The general admission fee is $10 but students with IDs and seniors over 60 have to pay only $4, while children under 12 don’t have to pay at all. More than that, the Museum has free entrance during the first Sunday of every month and visitors pay half of the normal price every Wednesday.
