The last time we visited the museum was in the early seventies and this visit made us realize we had waited too long. The Bernini exhibit was open and how wonderful it was, instructional but enjoyable, a very hard combination at times. Kahns building as matured very well and an addition is going up adjacent to the original structure, can... More

An amazingly varied collection of wonderful pieces, beautifully displayed and a very nice setting. Also, manageable. You don't feel overwhelmed as often happens in larger museums.

This museum is small but the paintings in the collection are all of superb quality. It is the finest small art museum I have ever been to...and I have been to a lot. I spent 3 hours here. Unfortunately the expansion has not yet been completed -- reason to come back. Definitely a do-not-miss museum if you are an art... More

We have made a decision to "see" what Fort Worth has to offer because we often overlook our own city's treasures to go out of town for vacation. We recently visited the Kimbell and took the time to see everything available. A truly neat place worthy of hours spent inside.

I can't believe this place doesn't charge admission. They have a very nice collection of art (original Picasso, Cezanne, DaVinci). They also have a nice gift shop (great selection of books). The cafe (which is buffet-style) is so-so.

My husband used to live in Fort Worth, and he went here all the time as a poor student. Now everytime we visit we have to go back. It is free if there is no special exhibit. Not huge, but all the works are very special. Worth an hour or two for sure. The architecture is also great, though they... More

Small and intimate, but worth the visit even if you do not see the main exhibit. Very interesting and outstanding collection.

I am not really that into art, beyond knowing some artists and some concepts, yet this museum was amazing. It's not overly large, so it's easy to stop in when there is not a travelling exhibit and see the collection for free. I really enjoyed our stop here and would recommend it to anyone.

The Kimbell in Fort Worth is a wonderful venue to spend a few hours. We went on a Saturday when there was not a visiting exhibit and admission was free. The artworks cover a variety of regions and time periods and are spaced in an open-air environment. Ambient light gently pervades the open milieu and makes for a pleasant and... More
