The Fort Worth Art Scene

Since arriving in Fort Worth Aunt Louise has taken us to The Amon Carter art museum, The Kimbell Art Museum, The FW Modern Art Museum, The Fort Worth Contemportary Art Museum, the Botanical Research Institute, The Botanical Gardens, the Japanese Garden at the Botanical Gardens and The Omni theatre to see "The Hubble Telescope". And she is still ready to go some more--while all I can think about is how much I would like a nap.

I am very impressed with the amount of culture this 'cowtown' has to offer. And how accessible it is. The museums are easy to get to and there is convenient parking--a real plus for a 90 year old aunt and in 100+ temperatures.
