Point #38- Texas Art Museums

To obtain this point: One must visit the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art in Fort Worth.
Caveat #1- Texas is filled with great Art Museums so it would be okay to go to some of the other world class museums-- Kimbell Art Museum (Fort Worth), Nasher Sculpture Center (Dallas), Houston Fine Art Museum, San Antonio Museum of Art, the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, or the Menil Collection in Houston.

The state of Texas is full of quality art museums. Each of the large cities in Texas have their own gem. The Amon Carter Museum of Western Art in Fort Worth has a fine collection of Fredric Remington and Charles M. Russell, who were two artists that told the story of the American West (and therefore...a lot in Texas). When you think of Western art (the buffaloes, cowboys, or Old West Shoot-outs)...you think of Fredric Remington and his enormous collection.

The other aspect of the Texas art scene is to realize where the money for this comes from. To support thriving art museums, you need patrons. Texas has an abundance of wealthy patrons that support the arts and have established a strong appreciation to the arts.

Enjoy Texas...did you know that Amon Carter was a famous Fort Worth patron of the arts who was involved in advertising, aviation, and (of course) oil in the early 1900s.
