Beautiful Museum & Amazing Architecture…read more I really enjoyed visiting the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The staff and everyone we interacted with were very friendly, and the parking was awesome--easy and convenient. General admission is around $16, but if you visit on Friday, admission is free, which makes it an even better value. The location is also great because you can easily walk over to the Kimbell Art Museum and make a full day of exploring the Cultural District. For me, one of the biggest highlights is the building itself. Tadao Ando is one of my favorite architects, so getting to experience one of his buildings in person was really special. I've always looked at those iconic concrete Y-columns and thought of them almost like giant martini glasses holding up the precast concrete roof. The combination of concrete, glass, water, and natural light creates such a peaceful atmosphere. I really love the location, the architecture, and the overall experience. Definitely a museum I would recommend, especially if you appreciate modern architecture.

A SPARKLING GEM of Fort Worth! I absolutely am a proud art nerd for finding out about this sweet…read moreart space in this beautiful city. This is a small-scale art museum that showcases a few artists' work at a time. It is free of cost too, which makes this a must see. I went during the last day of Ben Willis' Candy Man exhibit and WOW was it cavity inducing. I like how they feature local creative minds, too. Organic, haha jkjk. But it's lovely seeing the variety of styles they rotate in each exhibition. The entire layout of the studio has several rooms around a tall, modern white space. It is visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The curators and owners of the space are very friendly and even offered us a refreshment while we were looking around. Of course, being an exhibition, every piece is for sale. Each artist even has an opening and closing event AKA party where you can definitely peruse the museum and potentially buy some artworks. I like the intimate dynamic as an outsider here to be able to mingle with the artist and surrounding community. You don't have to be a full-on art nerd to appreciate this quirky place! Outside, there's even a huge mural of a vortex-looking abstract ringed monstrosity done by the talented Hoxxoh which I dig so much! Go snap a photo with it before it goes away. So, parking is a tad tight here. I believe you have to fight over ~8 spots, so come here at an odd time and weekday and NOT during one of the events and you'll definitely be accommodated. Definitely come as the artists rotate! A super cool way to spend a day in the culture district while supporting the sweet Ft. Worth arts district.

Fort Worth Art options are better than Dallas…read more As a TRUE Dallasite, it pains me to say this but I have to admit. Fort Worth art district kick Dallas's butt. Fort Works Art is a small shining piece of glory off a not so main road in Downtown Ft. Worth. The modern/contemporary vibe drew me in and I will definitely be back. Did I mention, it is Free. I went during the Duets 2.0 viewing and I was definitely not disappointed. While you're in the Fort Worth arts district make sure to take a trip to Fort Works Art.

There's so much to see, and I spent about two hours walking around, taking pictures, and discovering all the little details. It's definitely one of those places where you'll want to take your time because there's always something new to look at. One tip: wear comfortable clothing or athletic gear! There is quite a bit of bending, climbing, and moving around as you explore, so you'll want to be dressed for it. They also have a cute gift shop, mocktail bar, and café, so you can grab a drink or bite before or after exploring. If you're in the Grapevine area or visiting Grapevine Mills, definitely add Meow Wolf to your list! It's fun, unique, super photogenic, and a great experience whether you're going with friends or exploring on your own.

Very interesting! We went here while on vacation and took the kids. It was a fun way to spend two…read morehours exploring the non-scary haunted house. There are doors that lead to mysterious passageways, all kinds of colorful artwork, and interesting Alice in Wonderland style settings. Parking was easy. I thought the price was reasonable, given the fact that it provided about two hours of entertainment. My two complaints are that I would've preferred they not dabble in politics and I also found the story hard to follow. You are supposed to solve this mystery, and I was not able to make heads or tails of it. Perhaps that would've been easier with the app.

The Dallas Art Museum is free for most of the museum, with special exhibits costing extra, but honestly there is plenty to see without spending a dime. They have Renoirs, Picassos, Monets, and so much more. The bathrooms are surprisingly very nice, the AC was absolutely on point, and it was not crowded when we visited. A perfect spot to get a little culture in between meals. Honestly, a must hit for out of town visitors looking for something fun to do that does not involve eating. Be sure to hit the gift store too, a museum gift shop is usually well curated, and this one is no exception! (though I will say the lady working the store had a sh:tty attitude)

Whether it's a cold rainy day or a sweltering hot one, you can escape the punishing weather and…read moreenjoy an outing at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) for a little inspiration and awe. The DMA has a supporter membership for $120. It includes parking which would cost you $20 otherwise. You also get two free admission tickets that you can use to view the museum's collections or any special exhibitions each and every day of the year. The membership will also provide a discount at the museum store and in the snack bar. Visit twice during the year, and the membership more than pays for itself. You can buy your membership online, print the receipt, and show it for free parking. Once inside the venue, show the receipt at the check-in desk to get your free tickets to the special exhibit(s). Your DMA cards will be mailed to you in four weeks, in the mean time, use that printed receipt for everything. We renewed our membership this weekend April 2026 and went to see the Samurai Collection. Metalwork is not a favorite of mine, but I was still fascinated by the stories presented on the placards throughout the exhibit and I certainly appreciated the beautiful, intricate craftsmanship presented in each piece. I didn't realize that the Samurai swords and armor had been banned from production in Japan, so the metal workers pivoted and learned to become artisans. They started to make and repair metal embellishments, lanterns, and incense burners for the numerous temples in the country. Many of the items in this collection were from Kyoto and Nara, both places my husband and I visited in November 2009. The full body armor was fascinating. Little pieces of leather were coated in metal, painted, and woven tightly together to form a moveable, but protective layer over the body. The workmanship was exquisite. The exhibit had a few short videos you could watch to learn about the work. I especially liked the 30 second clip about the process of making cloisonné. These vases are beautiful and the process to make each one is detailed and meticulous. Kids could collect a postcard-sized scavenger hunt near the entrance and use that to stay in engaged throughout the visit. At the end, there was a sign on the wall with the answer key pictures showing which art pieces help the intricate designs they were looking for. The DMA has a permanent collection that includes a variety of art from around the globe, as well as multiple special exhibits throughout the year. Everyone is bound to find something that delights them and inspires conversation and wonder. Worth a visit!

Found out the Sid Richardson Foundation ensures admission to this wonderful museum is always free. I didn't know that as I thought there was an entrance fee. Wow! Even though I wasn't particulary "dressed" for such a nice museum, the lady working the front desk made me feel very welcomed as if I was a regular contributing patron. As I perused the exhibits, one of the docents answered all the questions I had concerning the art work. Damn, all those years I worked and walked downtown and I never visited this museum. Talk about lost time! PLEASE VISIT THIS MUSEUM!! You won't regret it. I will definitely come back.

This treasure is worth the visit! Wonderful and beautiful art. A true gem. Such a great museum.read more
