A must see: This is a fabulous museum - a great place to take children and seniors for a nice day in Fort Worth. Extremely well kept building and landscaping. Admission is free to the permanent collection, can't beat that!
Art meets beauty: I've been to the Kimbell since 2003, but my favorite exhibit was in 2004, Turner and Venice. The museum is nicely laid out and the interior is beautiful. You can buy headsets I believe while viewing the art, but I've never done so. I prefer studying the art in my own subtle environment. You have to leave your cell phones or silence them of course, sorry for those of you that are talk-a-holics, but the museum is absolutely wonderful and I would suggest any exhibit. I've been to about 4-5 and they were all wonderful. If you feel like you didn't get enough, you can always check out the modern art museum which is next door.
Top Notch Exhibits: I have been a visitor to this fine museum several times and have never been disappointed. It is a must see if visiting Fort Worth.
