Description

Named after Amon Carter, a publisher from Ft. Worth who donated funds for the museum to be established, this facility is a cultural treasure. It opened in 1981 and features a collection of over 300,000 American art items from the 10th through 20th centuries. Be sure to check out the photography and western art here, as those displays are particularly spectacular. In addition to a great permanent art collection, the museum also houses various rotating exhibits throughout the year. The facility is a major influence in the study and exhibition of American art, and is a great place to go if you're an art connoisseur.
