Kimbell Art Museum

The Kimbell Art Museum is widely regarded as one of the outstanding architectural achievements of the modern era. Designed by architect Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974), this classic modern building has won wide acclaim since its opening in 1972.  Kahn's innovative use of natural light and subtle articulation of space and materials greatly enhance the experience of the art.

The small collection of about 350 works is the embodiment of quality and importance at the highest level. The holdings range in period from antiquity to the 20th century, including European masterpieces from Fra Angelico and Caravaggio to Cezanne and Matisse, and important collections of Egyptian, Near Eastern, Greek and Roman antiquities, as well as Asian, Precolumbian, and African arts. The Kimbell possess a core of works that not only epitomize their eras and styles, but also touch individual high points of beauty and historical importance that assure them a place among the masterpieces of fine art.
