Tim BradshawMay 25, 2017Tadao Ando's elegantly functional building and a well-curated collection made this a perfect modern art gallery. The Cafe Modern is also really great. Worth the trip to Fort Worth alone.

The Wall Street JournalFebruary 11, 2015This museum features works by Andy Warhol, Robert Motherwell and Picasso. It was designed by Tadao Ando and is surrounded by a mirror-still reflecting pool. It's a work of modern art in itself. Read more

Hannah AlkadiJune 27, 2021Free on Sundays and makes a great companion to the neighboring Kimbell. Read the backgrounds to each piece; you’ll come to appreciate them more.
Angela SkeesAugust 11, 2015Went for the summer film series of Japanese animated films as I love them all so much. Lovely shop and reflecting pool.
An ever-changing array of top-notch exhibits. The restaurant serves a wicked brunch. (Free every Sunday in 2015!)
Kelly SnyderApril 2, 2015Currently have a video and photography exhibit; the images of ages, scapes, and everyday objects taken either in a new frame of light, overexposure, context, are amazing to look at.
Radhia AMarch 23, 2016Museum is free Mondays and they discount admission with a student I.D. the lectures on Tuesdays are always worth checking out.
Absolutely stunning architecture and the exhibits are always amazing. Always a good experience.

Cooper WisemanJune 9, 2011The movies they show here are great films that you would otherwise have to drive all the way to Angelica Dallas to see. My personal favorite was the French oddball comedy "Micmacs"

Eddie V's Prime SeafoodMay 10, 2013We love seeing the museum at night and the live music during Modern Friday Nights!- They have a nice collection of modern art, with frequent new exhibitions. There is also a weekly film series from the Magnolia in Dallas that is generally very good. Read more
