The museum is in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. Here's the link: www.cartermuseum.org
This art museum is free. Parking is free and the museum has its own parking lot. Check hours, but right now, it's open every day except Sunday and Monday. The museum offers public tours for free (according to their website).
This museum focuses on American art. There are several temporary exhibits, including one exhibit of contemporary Native American photography. Until late January 2023, there is a large exhibit filled with watercolor paintings of North American Indians, painted by Karl Bodmer in the 19th century. These watercolors are pretty incredible.
The upstairs has an entire room devoted to Frederic Remington - his paintings and sculptures. The sculptures are amazing. There are sculptures of Native American hunters, cowboys, outlaws, horses, etc in motion. https://www.cartermuseum.org/artists/frederic-remington
Next to the Remington gallery is a room devoted to Charles M. Russell. His western-themed artwork is also pretty incredible. https://www.cartermuseum.org/artists/charles-m-russell
The second floor also has a family lounge. There are children's tables, activities, places for adults to sit, etc.
This was a great field trip!
