Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Cultural District · Fort Worth, Texas
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art is Fort Worth's premier institution for the study and presentation of American art, with one of the finest photography collections in the country alongside extraordinary nineteenth-century Western American paintings and sculpture — all housed in a Philip Johnson building overlooking downtown Fort Worth with commanding presence. The photography collection, spanning the history of the medium from its invention through the present, is one of the most significant holdings of its kind in the United States, and the Western art — Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt — is among the finest anywhere. Free admission and exceptional scholarship make the Amon Carter one of the great public art resources in all of Texas.
