The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth focuses on post-World War II Art with a permanent collection of over 3,000 works. The museum was first granted a Charter in 1892 as the “Fort Worth Public Library and Art Gallery.”
Today’s mission for the museum is:
“collecting, presenting, and interpreting international developments in post-World War II art in all media.”
The current facility opened in 2002 and can showcases up to 150 works of art in its gallery space which features five long pavilions set into a reflecting pond.
The collection offers various movements, themes, and styles, including abstract expressionism, color field painting, pop art, and minimalism, figurative sculpture, and contemporary movements in photography, video, and digital imagery.
