Tim BradshawMay 25, 2017Tadao 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.

Kelly SnyderApril 2, 2015Currently 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.
Radhia AMarch 23, 2016Museum is free Mondays and they discount admission with a student I.D. the lectures on Tuesdays are always worth checking out.

eric bornemannMay 8, 2021Cool building and great collection of contemporary art. Cafe is great as well.
Cooper WisemanJune 9, 2011The 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"
Jason WillafordMay 27, 2016All of the shows are incredible, they have some of the best curators in the country.
The Capital GrilleSeptember 17, 2013The collection of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is comprised of nearly 3,000 objects, including paintings, sculptures, videos, photographs, and prints.

Eddie V's Prime SeafoodMay 10, 2013We love seeing the museum at night and the live music during Modern Friday Nights!- They have a nice collection of modern art, with frequent new exhibitions. There is also a weekly film series from the Magnolia in Dallas that is generally very good. Read more
