Kimbell Art Museum

3333 Camp Bowie Blvd · Fort Worth, TX

Why you should go…

The Kimbell's small but exceptional permanent collection spans Renaissance masters to Asian antiquities, and admission to see it costs nothing. Louis Kahn's 1972 building, with its cycloid vaults and diffused natural light, is considered one of the finest museum buildings in the country.

Good to know

General museums guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Check the special exhibition separately

    Touring shows usually carry their own ticket and their own opening hours, listed apart from general admission.

  • Look for the free window

    Many museums run community days, member evenings, or discounted late openings. It is worth a look before you pay full price.

  • Travel light through the door

    Large bags and backpacks often have to go to a coat check, and lines for it move slowly at opening.

  • Weekday mornings beat weekend afternoons

    School groups clear out by early afternoon midweek, while weekends stay busy from late morning on.
