What a cool place of Western Film History. I was just doing a morning walk in downtown Fort Worth and stumbled upon this museum. Not only is admission free but the staff is very kind and knowledgeable about all of the paintings and their historical ties to Hollywood. My absolute favorite was little Ruth's drawing in the kids area, it had me laughing and the Hunter on his horse in Moonlight painting, it is powerful.

An unexpected surprise while walking down town Fort Worth. The museum is generously FREE and features iconic art and sculptures, particularly from Frederic Remington as Sid Richardson was a prominent collector. The museum is excellently managed with friendly staff and worth a visit even if you are not an art fan.

A small and compact museum of Western Art that still holds quite a bit of character with numerous paintings that carry a wide variety of different emotions. Admissions is free, staff is polite, and the atmosphere is calming as the museum is not overly busy. Equally as interesting is the history of the museum as it was founded by a sort of successful Texan oil executive. A great quick visit!

My partner and I were visited her family as she’s originally from Fort Worth area. We travelled all the way from the UK and stumbled upon this lovely gallery. The lady at the front desk was so so lovely and gave us a fantastic rundown of the artists displayed. She encouraged us to fill out a postcard which they paid for delivery back to the UK which was a nice touch as well. This was my first day/experience of the kind of hospitality that makes me want to move over to Texas. We can’t wait to be back and will definitely pop in again. Thank you to the lady who was in a cast at the time who made us feel so welcome. ☺️

Small museum but a great collection of Remington and Russell works! Bibi was so helpful, telling us all about the artists and even taking the time to look up the answer to a specific question I had about them. We were told that the museum displays about one-third of Richardson’s collection at any given time and rotates pieces every year so it would be worth visiting again. I did notice, as others mentioned, that you could hear the security cameras moving as we walked through the exhibit. I understand the need for security with such valuable artwork, but the noise was a bit distracting from the overall experience and somewhat unnerving. Perhaps some quieter cameras? 😊 All in all, I would highly recommend visiting this museum, and you can’t beat the free admission!
