The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth was first granted a Charter form the State of Texas in 1892 as the "Fort Worth Public Library and Art Gallery", evolving through several name changes and different facilities in Fort Worth . The mission of the museum is "collecting, presenting and interpreting international developments in post-World War II art in all media." The current bulding, designed by Tadao Ando was opened to the public on Saturday, December 14, 2002. The "Modern" is located in the city's Cultural District, adjacent to the Kimbell Art Museum , designed by Louis I. Kahn , and near the Amon Carter Museum , designed by Philip Johnson . The building features five long, pavilions set into a reflecting pond. EXTERNAL LINKS |
