Cultural District

A few minutes west of downtown lies the third largest arts and cultural district in the United States. Amon Carter Museum features pre-1940 works by premier 19th and 20th Century artists, including paintings, books, sculptures, prints and photographs. The Kimbell Art Museum is a work of art in itself, thanks to architect Louis Kahn's use of natural light, space and materials. Nature and animal lovers will find a variety of classic venues located in this district. The Fort Worth Botanic Gardens features 114 acres of gardens where more than 2,500 species of native and exotic plants are displayed. Meanwhile, the Will Rogers Memorial Center is home to some of the world's most prominent equestrian events, and The Fort Worth Zoo houses more than 5,000 native and exotic animals in their natural habitats.
