Kimbell Art Museum

Fodor's Review:

Architect Louis Kahn's most famous American building was this museum, composed of six long concrete vaults with skylights running the length of each. Here are top-notch collections of both early-20th-century European art and old masters, including Munch's Girls on a Bridge and Goya's The Matador Pedro Romero, depicting the great bullfighter who allegedly killed more than 6,000 of the animals without sustaining an injury. The museum also exhibits Greek and Roman antiquities, African and pre-Columbian art, and has one of the largest collections of Asian art in North America.

  • Cost: Permanent collection free; variable admission for special exhibits
  • Open: Tues.-Thu. 10-5, Fri. noon-8, Sat. 10-5, Sun. noon-5, closed Mon.
