I did not particularly care for this museum but it doesnt mean that its not worth visiting. You might like it. You can also have lunch by the water and watch a variety of featured films in their theater.
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth has a fabulous collection in a beautiful building. The Vortex sculpture by Richard Serra at the entrance is fantastic.
A must go for an architectural lover or art lover. Always have amazing modern art on display. I could walk around the building for hours admiring the structure itself.
Half price admission Sunday! What an unexpected blessing. Had a quiet walk through the exhibit and explored the amazing installment of Sean Scully: shape of ideas. Looks like my significant other got the idea to propose here along the catwalk upstairs! Wow! Memorable and peaceful experience! Would definitely come back and view different peoples work.
Very clean and spacious. Can reasonably knock out the whole museum in 2-3 hours at most. Would recommend returning every now and then throughout the year to see what is rotated in and out. Im not a particular fan of modern art in comparison to renaissance era artwork but it was a nice experience all the same.
Has always been my favorite museum, but there was a lot that was inaccessible when I went.
Great way to spend the morning. Its larger than it seems at first and theres a nice variety of exhibits. Everyone under 18 is free and they have special discount days. Plenty of areas to sit and take a break. Theres a small outside exhibit area as well.Free parking available, clean bathrooms, neat little gift shop, and a cafe.3 adults (+3 free kids) = $48
FREE on Friday!Parking was free and close. Museum in general is beautiful and clean. Plenty of rooms and art to see.
Great Museum in the heart of the Museum District in downtown Fort Worth. This museum is huge. I went from room to room filled with art and sculptures. This was a collection of female artists with female subjects. It was truly an emotional experience as I meandered throughout the museum commenting on each painting. Commenting on how How these painting affected the depths of my heart and soul and my interpretation. It’s a beautiful collection.
We really enjoyed visiting the museum to watch Jazz Fest: a New Orleans Story. The movie provides history and intricate details about the formation and continuation of Jazz Fest, the different types of music which formed jazz, and the multitude of cultures that perform at Jazz Fest. I recommend that anyone who visits the museum watch the movie. It was fabulous and tons from multiple points of view.
Took my children on Friday when it was free. My kids enjoyed the art work and we had a great time.
Enjoyed it on Free Friday. Women exhibit is very good. Air conditoned and places to sit. Beautiful reflecting pool. Didnt go to outdoor collection. Plan to go in the fall when temps are cooler.
We enjoyed the special dance performance in the museum. The building and water together create a serene ambiance. I preferred some pieces more than others. I like that Sundays are half price for adults.
Great experience! Interesting rooms and a good amount of artists and works.
Interesting collection of art if you like modern art. Some of it is questionable as to whether or not its ART as there is literally just an LED floor display that if youre prone to migraines and seizures best to stay away from and theres a tall stick that is apparently art because theres squares on it. There is a few painting that legit look like something my preschool students painted but overall the place is nice for a day of wandering out and seeing something unexpected. Theres some hidden gems in here though that are quite beautiful. Modern art isnt my style, but if you love eclectic and out there stuff then this is your place!
I came on Friday and enjoyed free admission. The museum is spacious and has a very artsy vibe. I spent an hour and a half to view all the exhibitions. The museum is located in the Cultural District, so you can easily combine visits to other museums too.
Really great museum, and my favorite one in texas. i went to the “women painting women” and while i understand why some people are critical of how graphic it is, there is a warning about how it may not be family friendly so im assuming they knew what they were getting into unless the sign was just recently put up. the exhibit was thought provoking and meaningful. i really enjoyed it and the other more famous peices are also very interesting and cool. place was clean, swept, and front desk was friendly. definitely worth a visit.
I enjoyed the art some pretty unusual art stuff on display. Its ok but I would say its more for an older audience not for children under 10years old.
Great museum many works of art. Staff is very pleasant.
This is a unique museum with quite a variety of modern art. Friday is free admission. They offer maps to find your way around. I just wandered about but saw a great deal without using a map. I plan on visiting again.
Beautiful museum loved it especially the empowerment of women I will definitely be back
Fantastic facility - but otherwise mostly bad asylum-style art celebrating the grotesque features of the human condition. Save yourself $20 and an hour of your precious time and go somewhere spiritually nourishing like the nearby Botanic Gardens
Very nice! And Friday is free entrance!You can’t miss the restaurantFriendly waitress and nice food
Honestly, this is Fort Worths premier art museum. Wonderfully designed building and fabulous collection. Make sure to check out the Amphibian Theatre there as well. An art lovers dream.
I was having a little deppression and was feeling like going to a museum, I cannot describe how happy I was when leaving from the AMAZING experience. Everything has been better since, that you Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art
Very different state of mind. The exhibits make you think and space out into a different world. The Women Painting Women exhibit brings the emotional terminal women go through at different times.
Came on a Sunday and the admission was free. Only half exhibitions were available but I liked it. Friendly staff and beautiful architecture.
Great stop for those locked away because of Covid. Masks are must and the make sure theres plenty of room to Social Distance. Artwork was breathtaking and dont forget the exhibits outside in the back. Water is beautiful so come and enjoy.
This is one of my most favorite places to visit inFort Wort. The Modern art museum, designed by the architect Tadao Ando, is a marvel. I would describe it as the most beautiful wall that ever hung art. Its incredible that simple materials like concrete, glass, and metal could be arranged in such a majestic but also serene way. And Im sure some imagine the Modern is a one time visit kind of place, but I disagree. Depending on the time of day, the light coming in, transforms the atmosphere of the buildling. I didnt know congrete, glass, and metal could be so many different colors depending on the light hitting it. And the lake that hugs the side of the building, does a great job reflecting the beauty of the architecture. The lake is there to subtlety remind everyone, that this building, is art too.
A great way to spend an afternoon. So many interesting pieces of art on display here more than just paintings. Love the creativity and the whole aesthetic is overall really pleasant. Definitely worth the trip !
This is a perfectly fine museum. I appreciate many of the pieces but it always baffles me why modern art tries so hard and acts so pretentious. Too often there is some convoluted underlying meaning behind it, many with a title of Untitled. Why not let it just be a creative piece of art? I think art is supposed to be about personal expression, not a lesson in philosophy or social injustice. The viewer can attach their own meaning if they desire. Maybe the artist, dealer or curator does this to justify the expensive painting of just 3 dots? Or a fluorescent light? Not sure Ill ever understand why thats art. I did enjoy a few exhibits esp when I didnt read the title or story.
Great experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Enjoyed the exhibit, Women Painting Women.
This museum is great! They had pieces from well known authors such as Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol! The rest of the art was obviously carefully and thoughtfully chosen. It was a delight to see! The parking was plentiful and free. The price was more than reasonable at ten dollars per person (students and military get a great discount). If you enjoy art, museums, and/or art museums, then I strongly recommend you check this place out!
Wonderful pieces that you need to spend time and examine and break down with friends if you have a true eye for art.
I had a great time here. I saw the Takashi Murakami Exhibit there The octopus eats its own leg. It was awesome. The cafe was great, with quality brunch and great service. Some of the people who worked there at the show (the staff that shows people around) were noticeably rude. They had no smile or anything and were giving off unfriendly vibes. The lady at the gate was not even offering floor maps to new visitors if not asked for.Overall a great experience and I will go back there. But please get mature staff like at the Kimball. These rude kids-staff on the floor belong to malls and fast food places.
I really like the restaurant at the Modern, the food is fresh and tasty. They have a great selection and good drinks. Im a fan of their shistos, they are not covered in anything, just some light flavoring. Their quinoa is addicting. The best part is being able to walk off your meal by visiting the museum. Especially on their free days.The restaurant can be a bit pretentious but with the great views and delicious food, i can handle ;)
Beautiful building with lots of cool art. And its free on Friday! Great museum.
Ive been to this muesum twice and Ive loved it both times. They always have some crazy exhibit. Beautiful muesum, and its in the middle of a bunch of other museums so you can visit so many things and make it a date or a fun day out! They have a small cafe located in this muesum. Its adorable and of course priced at what youd expect. It is 50% on most sundays but suggest always calling or verifying online. This is a 2 floor muesum and has a beautiful outdoor area available via the cafe.
A few of Monets paintings. While looking room to room through the display, I had a $3 audio device to listen, at my leisure, to the Monet story of the paintings. I felt emotion in his paintings and then rested from the experience while grabbing a coffee and hearing beautifully played classical music ( I believe I was told from the later 1800s). While passing between buildings, there were several umbrellas set aside to save us from the constant misting and rain.I visited the gift shop, with too many creative items to list here. One thing I took home was a Monet inspired sleep mask.
I’m à member to this museum. That’s how much I love it! It’s absolutely beautiful. They always have different things going on! Admission usually depends on the exhibit but usually affordable. I go very often&always enjoy my time here.
Wedding was epic and beautiful atmosphere.
Great museum. Love to be able to see some of the works of art that thou only see in books but can view them up close and personal. You can see the dimensions in a painting that you cant see if youre just looking at a photo.
A very good museum. We loved it. Took about 2 hours then had lunch there.
Amazing place, the building is stunning, the art, the permanent exhibition, the location, parking, the mirror pool...... you can go every weekend and enjoy a quiet place just to take a break from daily life, floors are hard so wear some comfy shoes. Enjoy the place, its beautiful. Usually free on Sundays but thats about to change for the summer, check the website.
This place was amazing!!! The architectural design of the building was phenomenal. It really felt like I was in a art museum. And it was free. Theres another museum nearby 2 withing walking distance that we visited at the same time. And they are also free on certain days.
Great place. Check the visiting exhibits before you go. But both kaws and the octopus eating its.own.leg delivered in.a real way. Even the giant sculptures.they had a few.weeks.back were worth more than the price of admission.We
The building itself is a work of art. Love the traveling installations and most of the permanent collection. My favorite is Conjoined, the beautiful sculpture of two silver trees located outside. I never tire of seeing it. A visit to this museum is a great way to spend an afternoon.
I took my daughter to see The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg exhibit by Takashi Murakami. It was one of the best exhibits I have seen, the museum has such a great layout with plenty of spaces for the artists.
They had some really great stuff on display, but only had two galleries open due to Covid. Tickets were half price though.
I visited during free Friday the architecture alone is gorgeous and then theres the art! Worth the visit.
A beautiful setting with very interesting art.I enjoyed visiting with docents to explain some of the rooms.The traveling exhibit was very good.
Not my type of art but for free on Friday I guess it doesnt hurt to go broaden my horizons
A BEAUTIFUL MUSEUM! Thought provoking permanent collections! Intriguing special exhibits! Presently through January 10, 2020the invigorating exhibit of “Mark Bradford: End Papers”! Relaxing is the scene of their reflecting pool! Great gifts found in their gift shop! A favorite spot of ours in Fort Worth.
I love this museum! So many things to see. Everyone is friendly and they even have a place to eat. Some Andy Warhol paintings are here and they also have some pictures as well as oil and acrylic paintings. Entry fee is modest and not pricy at all.
Even before you see a single artwork, do yourself a favor and enjoy the wonderful concrete design of this building from the outside patio near the restaurant. It’s stunning and worth an afternoon picnic.
Ft Worth has a lot of great museums and this is my favorite. The exhibits are great and the building is awesome inside and out. The restaurant has a great brunch and a pretty good happy hour too. There is also a movie theater that has many showings a month, and some of them are free. This museum also hosts the Fortress music festival every April with a bunch of great acts. The exhibits have free admission every Friday and half price one other day. Definitely check this place out when you can.
What a great place to visit. Great collections and exhibits. Must visit. Plenty of parking and great sculptures around the area.
It was interesting for the most of it. However, I dont find a florescent light art. There are quite a few things I wouldnt call Art there. However, there was some pretty nice pieces that were very interesting.
Very nice setting, the outdoor seating is just so nice. Food is awesome. Staff are really nice. It was busy that day so maybe it took us alittle longer to before we got attended and served.
This museum is absolutely fabulous! Not only does it have gorgeous architecture in the building itself, it has art for everyone! It does not only have Modern Art but every kind of art you can imagine. If you are on a budget, you can even go in and look around there beautiful gift shop and go outside to the beautiful Sculpture Garden all for free. They also have a very affordably priced lunch buffet that is actually very well known for being both delicious and budget-minded. Check their website for free or discounted days as they offer both.
It is free on Fridays 20.00 for adults free for children it was a wonderful place. Their was art for adult and children my grands had fun.
Gorgeous and easy to visit museum. Completely worth seeing inside and out. Stop by the cafe for a bite to eat or cocktails and take a stroll to view the outdoor sculpture garden, it’s beautiful!
They present post modern art in an engaging way that expands the mind an appreciation of modern cultural and racial issues.
Admission was free and Im glad that it was.Not all of the exhibits were accessible, and most of the staff were aloof or rude.The only exception was the young lady at the ticket booth, she was kind and polite.
Just came here 2 days ago for the kaws exhibit and I drive 2 hours to come see it . It was my first time ever coming to an art museum. The staff was nice . Took a lot of pictures it was a great experience tickets were cheap . The Art pieces were amazing the art setup was nice . It was only on the first floor I thought there was more upstairs but it was different art pieces but other then that it was great . They have a little shop where I bought a companion for my husband.
Not generally a fan of modern art, but a great visit in a beautiful building. Free admission fridays and always free parking.
Enjoyed it a lot. Took about 30 minutes to wander around and see every exhibit. Lots of cool artwork, a small amount of “plastic bottles with water” that I just don’t get. But hey someone will like it.
Beautiful museum. I started visiting this museum when it first opened 20 years ago. Ive seen many great exhibits and seen some great films in their auditorium. If you are visiting Fort Worth or are a native try visiting some time.
Im not really a museum person but found this museum interesting. There are the usual paintings but the building has lots of interesting features that you have to look around for. The fancy dining was superb.
This was a really fun quick date during the week. We happened upon free Fridays, and really enjoyed all the exhibits from famous artists and relative unknowns alike. We didnt get a chance to eat at the cafe, but it looked great!
Amazing space with something interesting to discover around each corner! The Café Modern within the museum offers surprisingly delicious and reasonably priced dishes while the outdoor patio is lounge worthy.
Nice little museum with some fun modern pieces in a lovely building. Since it’s a smaller museum the curation is a little scattered but they did a fantastic job on their special exhibit!
Best museum in fort Worth. The regular collection is amazing and expansive. Also the current exhibition is incredible and lasts until mid September. It is free Friday and half price Wednesday.
Great selections, friendly but quiet staff, fair prices, and super clean place to be. There were some pretty random things in the gift shop, but still decent :).
The lights are amazing ! The Modern Art Museum in FTW is always worth it. 5 Stars !
Very fun juxtaposition of Murakami with the more subdued permanent installations. Beautiful building. We were able to walkable through all the rooms in just over an hour. Definitely worth a trip if you are visiting Fort Worth!
Made the trip from Houston and I really enjoyed myself. Definitely worth checking out.
My family brought me here a long time ago and I will never forget it.. so beautiful and so much interesting art pieces.. Its not expensive at all and you see things you wont see any where else in the world. Its probably one of the best ways to spend a few hours walking around. I cannot wait to take my kids here and give them that amazing experience that I shared with my family. If you ever thought about coming here, please come check it out
A friend was visiting from out-of-town and on a whim, we decided to have brunch and do a quick tour of the museum. The employees of both the museum and the restaurant were top notch, although my brunch selection was just meh -- too abstract for me.
I liked the building more than most of the art. Ive been there many times and have always liked it. Some of the art was disappointing this run. I am posting pictures of the highlights.
Personally, I dont enjoy art or seek it out. But it was required for me ot visit one art museum in the area for my Art Appreciation class. So I looked through the type of art I would most enjoy and I came across the modern art museum of fort worth. This museum contains Post World 2 art and have many different exhibitions. When I went, they were displaying art by contemporary artists Lorna Simpson, and KAWS. The experience was overall really fun for me because the museum was well-kept and the museum staff were very helpful in directions and whatnot. Will try and visit again.
The movies shown at the Modern are one of our favorite activities in Fort Worth.
This museum is a delight to visit, with its airy architecture and its impressive permanent collection. Some of the exhibits blend in well with the museums architecture or the landscape outside the museum. I was pleasantly surprised by the temporary exhibition of Japanese artist Takashi Mukarami. This museum is a complement to the equally excellent Kimbell Museum and Amon Carter Museum next door. If you plan to visit all 3 museums (Amon Carter, Kimbell and Modern Art) by public transport, you should visit the Amon Carter Museum first, which is at the top of a slope. Kimbell Museum is halfway down the slope and the Modern Art Museum is at the bottom of the slope.(P.S. One of the galleries in the Takashi Mukarami exhibition is NSFW. Be careful if you are bringing kids.)
Caught a movie at the Modern. Its a great place to see a movie if you havent already. Also an amazing space to see some thoight provoking art, grab a bite or a drink and dont get me started on the cool things they have in the gift shop. Hands down one of my favorite places in Texas.
This is awesome museum. Even if you are not interested in art, you will be amused. Love it!
Wonderful exhibits! Free on Fridays and I highly suggest eating a cafe modern
Impressive architecture, plenty of open spaces outside both in front and in the lawn area behind the lobby. Permanent collection is well curated, diverse, and interesting. Plus the cafe has delicious food with great service.
Its hard to enjoy a place when u are being followed at all times at least if your going to follow me talk to me i did not know i paid for a guided tour with the staff not talking to me just following i got their 30 minutes to closing but if you did not want me in their that late then just dont sell me the tickets should have just asked for a donation worst experience ever with the worst customer service
Great building/architecture and good selection of modern art. Free on Fridays if you are open and on a budget.
We never went inside. I have always wanted to go here. I took my son there to take pictures. Parking was easy and close. They have great art on the outside of building. In the picture below, he is standing in one of the art pieces outside the building. When you are inside of it and you say something it echos. It was a lot of fun!
It was well presented, but could have used more art in some blank areas.
The modern arts museum was absolutely fabulous after eating at Cafe modern and having a few drinks a few of my friends and myself walked around and viewed all the beautiful arent they had on display ranging from Picasso all the way to more modern painters and artists.I really enjoyed this museum I would highly recommend Cafe modern as well as the museum.
Beautiful building with great art inside, I managed to visit on a half price day (first Thursday of every month I think?), otherwise a ticket would have been $16. I was pleasantly surprised when one of the docents caught me before I left and asked if Id seen a sculpture that guests sometimes miss. Indeed, I had walked by the path to it, so she pointed me in the right direction, and I was able to see a memorable art piece! Thankful for that type of kindness.
My favorite museum in Texas! The building is a work of art in itself, and I adore both the permanent exhibits and their excellent special events.
Very clean Modern 🎨..art was great me an my family had blast everyone their was nice an awesome place to have a family picnic also..
Super awesome. Lots of classic modern artists works. Classic Andy Warhol pieces, a Jackson Pollock, and some of Picassos works. Most of the 2nd floor was closed off but it was still very fun.
Loved it. We had the best free tour EVER. He asked us what we saw in each one of the paintings and was thoughtful and engaging.
Took my daughter so she could get extra credit for her art class. So glad I did! First time in a museum in years. The staff up front was friendly. Everything is well spaced out and the setting for each piece is tailored to the experience desired. Different exhibits/pieces have different lighting. One of my favorites was Ladder for Booker T Washington which was a handmade ladder suspended in mid-air that curved slightly and narrowed as you get to the top.I also enjoyed the sculpture that is a book with wings. It is a huge free standing piece and I dont know how he managed to make it stand by itself with lead wings extending about 5 feet on either side.There was also a large modern painting of an African-American man in a Starter type coat on a powerful horse that was really cool. Rich colors and great detail.We went late on a Sunday, so we only got to check out the 1st floor and a small part of the 2nd floor. I look forward to going back.
Really nice place! Lots of great artwork, but pretty small.
Wonderful place and great exhibit of Takashi Murakami! It was also wonderful to see the brilliant pieces of the permanent collection--the Picasso and Andy Warhol pieces always take my breath away!
Didnt have any exhibits currently going on, so what we got to see encompassed all of 4 or 5 rooms. We were there for about 20 min.... that included shopping at gift shop.
A great activity our whole family enjoyed, including our five and eight year old.
One of the nicest Texas museums and the art is always interesting. Restaurant is food is outstanding.
This place feels like home and you get to visit it anytime you want. Free Sundays, the movies are amazing, and the cafe is delicious.
Love coming here …. I love the different artthey put out and the kind staff, very lovelyplace to come if you love art
Free Fridays are great for students and budgeters alike— I love exploring the new pieces. The Modern is a jewel with a diverse collection of eclectic and beautiful eccentric pieces. Theres such a wide variety in this huge museum.I love the featured stories. Also the echo tower near the front doors is a fun way to start your experience.
Visited the KAWS exhibition Where the end starts at the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum back in January 2017 ... all I can say: AMAZING !!
Wonderful place for art lovers and make sure you go there in evening so that you wont be missing the phenomenal views! A few of the statues have been sold out, but you will love it!
The Milton Avery exhibition thats currently there is definitely five stars. Superb! Tasty food a great service at the atmospheric Cafe. Will return.
Went on a Friday and it was free the exhibits were amazing it was exciting to see an Andy Warhol up close the staff were really friendly. It was a great place for a date night
They bring in great exhibits throughout the year. Highly recommend if youre in town!
We had a great time seeing Takashi Murakamis exhibition. Thanks to their free fridays we were able to have the opportunity to see his work. Other then that everything else seemed spot on clean and cozy.
Beautifully designed building with a great collection. Well worth the visit when in town.
The exhibits are wonderful. I wont go into detail because you can read about them on the website. I was happily surprised to be given free admission because Im a teacher. Honestly, the place is breathtaking. There is a waterpool surrounding the back of the building that is so effervescent. I cannot begin to describe the diversity and intensity of the exhibits. Truthfully, I was never a fan of modern art, but this museum has changed my mind. You should go.
Beautiful modern museum. The building itself is worth seeing.
Always updating exhibits, staff is friendly and its not expensive, especially if you are a student.
Free on Friday! A little bit of everything to see. Staff was helpful answering questions about the exhibits.
Dope. Art dealer chic.
It’s a really beautiful museum. The outside looks amazing. To see the collection it’s over 10 but if you can prove your a student it’s only 4 bucks! If your on a budget the Kimbell is pretty great too and free
Beautiful place to visit on Friday because entry is free. Weekends are half priced around $7 per adult. I loved it.
Has very nice art work and is large.however,they have one art work that photos are not allowed. It is marked very tiny in a symbol thumb size with the painting description.nowhere else is it written. accidentally tried to take a pic of it,was told real loud by an employee not to.put away the phone started walking was being followed by the employees the whole time.even heard a mgr looking guy telling another employee about it. At last I got a vacation,picked your museum to have fun,couldnt enjoy it and left.MAKE THE SIGN BIGGER and yall should not be following ppl around like that.very disappointed. The museum owner needs to re evaluate employees.
Great art on display and I liked the way art was presented.
Excellent assortment of modern art. I knew this was going to be a good place when I saw a KAWS piece at the entrance. The price of admission was stellar (10.00) when you consider all of the cool art this museum houses. Very glad I invested the time to check this place out.
I’ve been wanting to come here for awhile and finally did today. Got in free because I’m a teacher, staff was friendly and I really enjoyed the museum it was great. I mainly came to see the Kaws statue to be honest, but saw a lot of cool and awesome art.
Great place to spend 2-3 hours looking at beautiful pieces of art. Friday’s is free.
An amazing place, lived everything there, beautiful place, Tottaly worth checking out, Im sure every age would enjoy the art here, really nice workers as Well, overall favorit museum! You can get some really cool photos if your a photographer
Pleasant and peaceful experience. Nice visiting exhibits. David Bates !Dont touch!
You can get in free on Fridays!! Not sure if its just for the octopus eats its leg exhibit. They have a lot of interesting pieces
Ive lived here for decades and finally went. It was everything I hoped for and more. I now wish I hadnt waited so long. Ill definitely recommend to others and return.
Beautiful exhibits and pieces. Architecture is just beautiful, loved the reflection pool.
Beautiful architecture by Tadao Ando. Great gallery spaces. Probably best for temporary exhibits as the permanent collection is uneven, as if the donors were late to acquiring art and the best stuff was gone.
I enjoyed my visit here. The works on display were the museums collection because they were installing a visiting display. But admission was free so Im not complaining. It took as long to look at everything as I wanted to be there. Some of it was very impressive, some was art I thought I could have done. But thats modern art. Overall an enjoyable time.
Great experience at the Murakami exhibit. Parking was terrible I went the day before the last day.
They bring in the most interesting and culturally relevant artists. Always great to visit! ❤️
This is one of my favorite places in Fort Worth. The architecture is magnificent. The reflection pool is awesome. The permanent collection is awesome as well as the travel exhibitions.
This museum is one of my top favorites! Full disclosure some art pieces include nudity and graphic content.
Amazing layout. There was a guard at every station that made you feel safe. The artist was Takashi Murakami, among others. Also saw the art of Pablo Picasso. Each piece of art was exciting and the information listed by each piece was thorough. Admission charge was the only $16. per person which is very reasonable. Definitely want to go back.
Stunning and diverse collection of modern art at a great price. Free parking, $16/ person. A must see for those with good taste in art. They also even have an original installation from Takashi Murakami!
Walked in a naruto cosplayer naruto ran up to me slapped me and used 1000 years of death on me and left.5 star would go again
Stunning architecture, good permanent collection, fantastic exhibitions. Just saw the Frank Stella Retrospective.
I went on a Friday, which is free admission. Very beautiful museum.
What a beautiful place, especially lit for the holidays. I found the pieces inside engaging and the aesthetic pleasing. Accessibility with a stroller was 100% doable.The resonance chamber outside was a total mystery to my 4 year old and I think he still believes its a form of magic even though we tried to explain echoes and the shape.We wandered in by mistake originally, but spent half an hour just exploring and my kids demand to go back sometime soon, so we sure will.Were a family of artful people, and seeing them get engaged and interested in art made my night.
This museum is kid friendly and fun! The new Murakami exhibit was a big hot with our kids and they always love getting their own sketchbooks (provided by the museum) when they arrive.
What a great museum, friendly staff, and welcoming environment.
Very nice place. It was a little light on things to see, but I think we went during a pretty sizable exhibit transition. There was a particular piece my friend and I probably poured over for 15 minutes trying to decipher. I think our exuberance made the nearby attendant nervous...lol.
Got unlucky and visited while the entirety of the upstairs was closed and so the sculpture garden was also closed. Beautiful building, the exhibit with the blue lights on the floor should include a warning because of the flashing lights.
Hands down, the most beautiful building in Fort Worth and it never, ever gets old.Do not miss this masterpiece
The statue garden was a huge disappointment. One statue 😧 It was the only down side the the museum. Otherwise staff was friendly and the exhibits were all wonderful. It was a good time.
Gorgeous building. Nice cafe. Really fun exhibits. My favorite of the big three museums here.
One of the best in that country! Fantastic exhibits and the Christmas lights are great as well!
Beautiful museum with beautiful art. Highly recommend if youre in the Fort Worth area. Bring your student or teacher ID for free entry.
The Modern is a beautiful building, filled with some great works of art.
I dont like modern art but it was a good place to be with friends, there was a part where it showed an artists sketches and it was pretty cool.
Awesome place, good art. Saw a documentary and its worth visiting if you like art and museum.
Exciting and well curated smaller collection thats worth the trip. The day I visited our seemed there were several gallery spaces closed but the ones I saw I very much enjoyed.
Went on field trip with 6th,7th and 8th graders. The students and I enjoyed the museum, lots of knowledge from the staff.
We took an hour drive to Fort Wort to the Museum of Modern Art.My daughter loved it. But my son, not so much. He’s only 10. Haha. He’ll appreciate it as he gets older.Great place. We’ll be back.
So fantastic to catch Ron Muecks latest exhibit. The work is incredible.
They have fantastic collection complimented by the exceptional architecture of the building
This was a really neat experience. I loved the art and the feeling you get walking amongst the pieces.
Such a great building. Serendipity struck as visited on a free Friday.
One of my favorites in DFW area. Plus is free in Fridays!
I think I know more or less than the average art enthusiast but I still come to appreciate the art they have. Ive been to two of the exhibits: KAWS & Takashi Murakami. Theyll both stay with me
Its always interesting to visit the Modern. Some exhibitions are def more interesting than others, but everyones taste in art is different, so thats why you gotta go often.
Really awesome place to spend some time. Tickets are half price on Sundays and completely free on Fridays.
It was alright.. good place to get your steps in
Id give more stars if I could see Book With Wings or Aschenblume.
Great place to see Modern art, free on Fridays!
I actually enjoyed this better than the Kimbell. Cool art all over
Great architecture housing some amazing works - had an inspiring time visiting the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum.
4 stars for their wonderful view, really good food and almost affordable prices. Actually dropping $25 a head for a fancy brunch is not excessive in some circles. The food is good and the view is spectacular. If you dont go all out with drinks and desert you will spend closer to $15 per person. Use that difference on tickets to the museum. Thats wonderful too.
Went with some friends on a free Friday and had a really great time. The museum is clean and very well kept. The attendants watching the art are attentive, pleasant and almost invisible unless they need to remind people of etiquette. It was nice that you could go in any direction and still get to see everything in a smooth and easy flow at my own speed.I drove over and hour to see these special pieces and was very pleased with my experience. Thank you for offering the free days as it made it even more appealing to make it out there and do it on a budget.
Im not a modern art fan but our guide was awesome when we toured with my school!
Nice exhibits, beautiful building.
Been going here since I was just a kid. 30 years of memories. Wonderful art. Beautiful facility and friendly, professional staff! They do an amazing job of sharing the history of art and being us cutting edge modern artists! Life long fan!!
If you want to see something that will inspire you and spark your imagination the modern art museum is for youFloors of things for they eyes to see that cant be found on tv with blank stairs and minimal brain activityBreak the Brian fog and treat your mind to things that have been made by hand that is almost obsolete
They have great exhibits that are nicely spaced out to where you don’t feel like you’re elbow to elbow with the other visitors. I took my toddlers here in their double stroller and they enjoyed looking out the giant windows and at all of the 3D art forms. After we finished we were even able to have picnic lunch outside in their lawn area. It’s a great place for a family outing.
Good art collection - the cafe has a delicious menu. But really, my favorite part is the building and landscaping.
This is such a beautiful building, I just wish there would have been a bit more art to view when my wife and I visited. In full disclosure, it was a special free Sunday so we saved the $16 for two people (normally $16 per person except Sunday, when it is half price) so we cannot complain too much. I realize this is a museum of modern art, so minimal pieces on display probably comes with the territory, but I don’t see the need to go back here again anytime soon unless there’s a featured installation we can’t miss.
I like their collections of different art items. Kinda disappointed because we missed the Kaws exhibit.
Love the museum and its permanent collection. The Kaws exhibit was also extraordinary
Always a great experience. Sundays are half price.
Excellent contemporary art. Beautiful quiet space. Take advantage of the audio tour to learn more.
I was at the cafe ... service was good...I only had a latte (which was very good), so cant attest to the food. Im especially impressed tbat they are no longer using plastic straws.
This place has wonderful exhibits all the time and the traveling exhibits are stunning. They have great kids programs and camps and they even have some days that are free. I have enjoyed bringing my kids since they were little. Youd be amazed at the things kids will notice and i think it is nice to teach them to be respectful of the art (and other people) early. My 6 year old just finished her summer camp and said Can I come back next year!?
Always a good time. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly
My wife and I went to the Cafe Modern and were pleasantly surprised at the wonderful menu items. They also had 1/2 price wine at the bar before dinner. I ordered the lamb chops and they were cooked to perfection. The service was excellent as well as the view, sitting by the water. I would certainly recommend enjoying a fine meal or celebrating a special occasion. Enjoy.
There is an energy here captured by the care taken to display the works perfectly.
Most of the exhibits were closed due to they were getting ready for thr next one but was still a great time

2022-06-25I took the 85 year old mother, two 13 year olds and the five year old, to Women Painting Women. I gave this exhibit four stars.Here is why: We are a family of artist, with all members present having exhibited art at one point or another In our lives. But I felt strongly that this exhibit should have had a deeper explanation on the graphic nature of a few works of art.I was walking into one of the exhibit rooms, the five year old had already entered, and quickly assessed the art, realizing quickly I would not be able to explain this to her. I grabbed her hand and gently guided her into another room. She looked up at me and I simply said, when you are older, I will take you into that room and we can enjoy those paintings. But right now, let’s look at some other things.I normally love the exhibits, but this one posed a little bit of a family challenge for the little one.Thank you Modern Art Museum for all the contributions to give our community.

2022-01-27A beautiful museum. I’m not an art museum expert, but I enjoyed the beauty and serenity of this place. It is big, too. I kept thinking we were at the end of the building and then we would find another door/hall/turn to more. We spent a couple hours in it and did not see it all.

2022-06-15Some interesting stuff, some not so much. There is a literal block of stone as an exhibit. My favorite was the steel beams outside. They sound amazing, just slap the beams whilst in the middle of them!

2021-12-05My favorite museum in the area! Always fascinating and unique pieces of art. They do have certain days where tickets are cheaper, so I recommend ordering in advance to take advantage of those deals. Students also get discounts if they have their ID! I typically spend 1-2 hours here, though I spent longer my first visit. I’m no art aficionado, but I’m a big fan of this art museum and how they work hard to make it accessible to all through explanations of each art piece readily available. The sculptures and architecture are definitely highlights of this museum!

2022-05-30KAWS, Andy Warhol, and Takashi Murakami. You can find their work, alongside many more, at Modern Art Museum or Fort Worth. This museum is the best art museum I have been to in North America, and I’m not exaggerating. Their collection is unreal, it felt like a dream as I was going through their galleries.

2022-03-06It was a great experience; we were in Fort Worth for three days, and this was my favorite! I loved the experience overall; everything was clean and put together, and it seemed like they were getting ready for new exhibitions.

2022-03-06Museum designed by Ando Tadao. Good layout with some hidden passageways to keep exploring the space interesting.Even if you’re not a fan of modern art, it’s worth visiting for the building and the tranquility it offers.There is a restaurant attached to the museum, so go ahead and get some drinks afterwards.

2022-04-18I like this museum, they have a great collection of modern art. They have important painting, and the architecture is FANTASTIC. If you are looking a fancy and confortable place for a special dinner, you must going to the restaurant and bar. They have a lake, that you can admire all the bulding. It is awsome. And in may 22 their gonna have a special exhibition about woman artist.

2022-04-10Beautiful building by Tadao Ando,self taught Japenese architect. I spent time just enjoying the Zen like shapes and cleans lines of the beautiful concrete structure he designed, not to mention the wonderful art work displayed in this gorgeous facility.
