The newly expanded Amon Carter features Western and American
art. The 109,000-square foot building has three times the
exhibition space as before, allowing four times the amount of
artwork to be on view. First opened to house Amon G. Carter, Sr.'s
collection of 400 paintings, drawings and works of sculpture by
Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, the museum has gradually
expanded to include works from a vast array of artists, from
Frederic Edwin Church to Georgia O'Keeffe. The American photography
collection, one of the largest in the country, was started in 1961
with Dorthea Lange's portrait of Charles M. Russell and now
includes works by Matthew Brady, Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz and Paul
Strand, among others. In the Cultural District. No admission
fee.
