We enjoyed the free audio tour, esp learning about the unique architecture. Handsets were available at the front information desk and information was available to appeal to different audiences. But what was really great was happening upon a docent led tour of the permanent collection. To my knowledge, these only happen twice a week. Our docent was Sylvia and she... More

After years of hearing about the Kimbell Art Museum my wife and I visited it this past Friday. The quality of the exhibits was outstanding. Paintings by Monet, Manet, Renoir, and many other renouned artists. I almost forgot I was in Fort Worth. To see paintings of this caliber was like being was like being back in Europe. Marvelous -...

The Kimbell may be smaller than the Prado, the Louvre, the British Museum or the Smithsonian, but the special exhibits match the quality of the larger museums. We have had a family membership for many years and love taking our house-guests there. Our frequent visitor from Pennsylvania is now on their mailing list. The free permanent exhibit spans the evolution... More

So close to all the cultural attractions - big lawn out back to throw frisbees. Kimbell has rotating exhibits that are always good and lunch there never disappoints. More

The Kimball is a relatively small museum that packs a major punch. The museum definitely goes for quality, if not quantity. Spectacular examples of early Renaissance art to early Peruvian and African icons are just some of the treats in store. The museum is currently expanding so it will be able to showcase more of its world-class collection. Architecture buffs... More

Although the collection is not as large as we might have expected, it's a good way to spend an afternoon. The buffet lunch for $9 to $11, depending on the size plate you request, is terrific. More

Masterpieces everywhere you look. Not such a good place for kids unless they are INCREDIBLY well behaved. You can touch NOTHING. Traveling exhibits are among the finest in the world. A very classy place that I spend entire days in soaking in the art. The cafe is very good and reasonable. There is an admissions price. More

A must see in Ft.Worth. An awaking of you artful self begins when you walk in the door. The glass art work alone is worth the trip. More

One of the best small museums IN THE WORLD! Rated very highly everywhere. Renaissance to 1900 art collection is amazing, as is the architecture. More

Easy access. Good Parking. Well light, SUPER pieces! But due to the fantastic exhibit - it was very, very busy. I mean 3-4 people deep in front of each piece. Go EARLY! More
