Located in the heart of Fort Worth's Cultural District, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art explores the breadth and complexity of American creativity. Through an expansive collection, and by presenting world-class exhibitions, sharing dynamic events, sparking cutting-edge research, and more, we offer visitors new ways to encounter and understand American art.
The Museum collects the best examples of American artistic creativity by some of the biggest names in art history, with works from the eighteenth century to the present day. From paintings and sculptures to photographs and works on paper, there's something for everyone in our galleries! And what's on view is regularly changing, so each time you visit you'll see something you haven't seen before.
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art was established through the generosity of Amon G. Carter Sr. (1879-1955) to house his collection of paintings and sculpture by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell.
Our mission: to collect, preserve, and exhibit the finest examples of American art; and to serve all communities through exhibitions, publications, and experiences devoted to the celebration of American creativity.
Gifts to the Carter allow the Museum to share outstanding American art across our community. Your contribution helps to support special exhibitions; education and access programs for schoolchildren, families, and adults; and the care and display of the Carter's renowned permanent collection.
By giving to the Carter, you contribute to our goal of collecting, preserving, and exhibiting the finest American art while providing exceptional opportunities for cultural engagement to people of all ages and backgrounds. You also support the Museum's commitment to representing the diversity of American art and artists.
The Museum is committed to service to the common good; the ideals of respect, integrity, honesty, and courage; the belief that ours is a museum for all; the pursuit of diversity, equity, access, and inclusion (DEAI) in the museum field.
