Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Art museum in Fort Worth, United States
The Amon Carter Museum is an art museum in Fort Worth with a facade of glass and stone. Galleries spread across several levels display paintings, sculptures, and photographs from different periods of the country's art history.
A newspaper publisher opened the building in 1961 with his collection of paintings about life in the American West. Over the following decades the institution expanded its holdings to include works from all regions and periods of the country.
The name honors a local newspaper publisher who wanted to share his personal collection with the public. Today visitors come here to see works showing cowboys, western landscapes, and everyday scenes from different centuries.
Admission is free, making the place a popular destination for families and students. A research library in the building can be used for study after advance registration.
Five tall arches of stone support the main glass facade and frame the view toward downtown. This construction lets plenty of daylight into the entrance hall and gives the whole building an airy appearance.
