The Amon Carter Museum of American Art features paintings, photography, sculpture, and works on paper by leading artists working in the United States.
The museum’s painting collection focuses on the period from the 1820s through the 1940s. The collection is mainly focused on portrayals of the Old West and the exploration and settlement in American history.
The museum’s collection of photographs, prints, and other works on paper cover the period up to the present day.
The American photography collection consists of 45,000 exhibition-quality prints, dating from the earliest years of the medium to the present.
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art opened in 1961 as the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art.
The museum’s library holds 150,000 items in its art reference library, which is non-circulating and organized around the study of American art, photography, and culture from Colonial times to the present.
