Kimbell Art Museum

The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, is known for its carefully selected collection of around 350 works of art spanning antiquity to the mid-20th century. Its holdings include European masterpieces by artists such as Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Monet and Picasso, alongside ancient Egyptian, Asian, African and art from the ancient Americas. The museum opened in 1972 in a building designed by architect Louis I. Kahn, celebrated for its vaulted ceilings and soft natural light. In 2013, the Renzo Piano Pavilion opened nearby, providing additional galleries for temporary exhibitions and educational programmes. Together, the two buildings form one museum, bringing internationally significant art into an architectural setting designed around light and space.
