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.
