Amon Carter Museum of American Art

The Amon Carter Museum of American Art is the mecca for American art lovers in the world. Indeed, the walls and hallways are filled with the biggest names in American Art history.

What once started as a one-man dream (who couldn´t see it open its doors) became a keystone for art in Fort Worth´s cultural district. Ever since it opened its doors, the museum has been an entrance-free space to foster American art and culture to the community.

The Carter Collection

The Carter Collection started with the work of two prominent American artists: Frederic Remmington and Charles M. Russell. Their works depicted life in the old west like few others.

With time, the Carter collection grew to incorporate other artists and themes. For example, the inclusion of art depicting Native American life, paintings of landscapes and coastal scenes, and portraits, figure paintings and images of everyday life engrossed and added depth to the vision of American life in past times.

Also, still-life paintings, sculptures, 20th-century modernists, American impressionists, photography, and works on paper populate now the museum and the collection. Furthermore, it is possible to investigate and learn more in profundity about any and all pieces at the museum´s library and archives.
