Ft Worth has one of the most stunning art galleries I've visited. The building was designed by a self taught Japanese architect and is constructed from concrete and granite. The interior spaces are beautiful and display the art brilliantly. We are visiting to see a show of Lucien Freud's portraits. Lucien was a British painter that only recently died. There are 90 paintings in the show which illustrate his fascination with the human figure, very powerful! The gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, is located in the culture district of Ft Worth and competes with several other very credible galleries. We visited the Kimball gallery yesterday and viewed an original Michelangelo painting done when he was 13 or 14 years old. Ft Worth is not known for its art, rather it's cows and yes we did visit the famous Ft Worth stock yards, now a very trendy tourist destination. Who knew.......a cowtown with culture.......Calgary's twin.
