The Amon Carter Museum is a treasure not only
for the Fort Worth community, but also for art lovers throughout the world. An
extraordinary
collection,
special
exhibitions,
education programs, community
events, and
publications
make the Museum a major center for the gathering, interpretation, and enjoyment of
American art.
Fort Worth publisher and philanthropist Amon G. Carter, Sr. (1879-1955),
founded the Museum to house his collection of paintings and sculpture by Frederic
Remington and Charles M. Russell. His unwavering commitment to excellence is still very
much alive in the Museum today. |

Since its opening in 1961, the Museum has broadened the scope of its collection by
adding outstanding works of 19th and 20th century American art. The Amon Carter Museum
houses a collection of over 300,000 objects, including paintings, sculpture, and prints,
as well as one of the finest collections of American photographs. The Museum's
collections, exhibitions, public programs, and publications support the study and
appreciation of American art. The Museum boasts one of the most active art museum
publishing programs in the country. Since 1962, the Amon Carter Museum has published over
100 books, both independently and in conjunction with major publishers.
