I am not a fan of the arts but this place is a great place to view some beautiful artwork, including Remington's famous western iconic scenes of cowboys and cattledrives. More

Three museums in one area: the Kimbell, Museum of Modern Art, which we haven't yet visited, and the Amon Carter Musuem of American Art. Wonderful western sculpture, painting from all over the US. Particularly loved Heade's Thunder Storm on Narragansett Bay, which is featured in the Great Courses lectures of American Art. Stunning. More
