About Kimbell Art Museum
The Kimbell Art Museum is in Fort Worth’s cultural district. The original 1972 building is one of architect Louis Kahn’s best-known works, with aligned concrete vaults and high openings that let natural light fall on the artworks. Facing it, a glass-and-wood pavilion by Renzo Piano houses temporary exhibitions.
The permanent collection is small and carefully chosen, with masterpieces from various periods: sculpture from Egypt and Asia, pre-Columbian and African art, and European painting with works by Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Velázquez, Rembrandt, Monet, Cézanne and Picasso.
The gardens, with ponds and aligned trees, are part of Kahn’s design.
