Get Artsy!

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth has some of the most interesting pieces of art I've seen. This museum has nearly 3,000 objects in their collection, and all are a must see! Some of the artwork is a little strange, but it is definitely worth seeing. The building itself is a piece of art. The reflecting pond around the building provides a relaxing and tranquil vibe. Currently, Lucian Freud's portraits are on display in the Modern. He is often considered as the greatest portrait painter of the twentieth century. Freud made the living human presence his subject. His portraits are famous around the world. 

This museum is unique, in that it also has a cafe located in the museum. Cafe Modern offers artfully crafted cuisine made from local ingredients. The view from the cafe is incredible. It sits right by the reflection pond and is perfect for date nights. 

Public tours of the museum are held Tuesday - Sunday at 2pm. These public tours focus on the current special exhibits. Stop in during the week or weekend to enjoy the artwork!
