Tadao Ando's elegantly functional building and a well-curated collection made this a perfect modern art gallery. The Cafe Modern is also really great. Worth the trip to Fort Worth alone.
The Wall Street JournalFebruary 11, 2015
This museum features works by Andy Warhol, Robert Motherwell and Picasso. It was designed by Tadao Ando and is surrounded by a mirror-still reflecting pool. It's a work of modern art in itself. Read more

This brisk and beautifully stark cafe, tethered to The Modern Museum of Art in Fort Worth, skillfully frames a simple menu flung with international influences in Southwestern flare. Read more

Free on Sundays and makes a great companion to the neighboring Kimbell. Read the backgrounds to each piece; you’ll come to appreciate them more.

I think I know more or less than the average art enthusiast but I still come to appreciate the art they have. I've been to two of the exhibits: KAWS & Takashi Murakami. They'll both stay with me

Currently have a video and photography exhibit; the images of ages, scapes, and everyday objects taken either in a new frame of light, overexposure, context, are amazing to look at.

The movies they show here are great films that you would otherwise have to drive all the way to Angelica Dallas to see. My personal favorite was the French oddball comedy "Micmacs"
