About Amon Carter Museum of American Art
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art sits on a hill in the cultural district, with views over downtown Fort Worth. The original stone-and-glass building was designed by Philip Johnson in the 1960s.
The museum was created from the collection of Amon G. Carter, the city’s newspaper publisher, of paintings and sculptures of the American West by Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. The collection expanded to encompass American art more broadly, from the 19th century to the contemporary era, with works by Winslow Homer, Georgia O'Keeffe and others, and one of the largest collections of American photography in the country.
Admission to the permanent collection is typically free.
