Why you should go…

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth focuses on art made after World War II, with a permanent collection of more than 3,000 works. Its Tadao Ando building, opened in 2002, sets three long concrete and glass pavilions into a reflecting pond in the Cultural District, next to the Kimbell Art Museum. The museum itself traces its founding to 1892. Café Modern serves lunch, brunch and dinner from seasonal menus rooted in Texas ingredients.
