Kimbell Art Museum - Louis I. Kahn’s architectural masterpiece

The Kimbell Art Museum’s original building was designed by architect Louis I. Kahn and opened in 1972; the building is noted for its cycloid-vaulted galleries and carefully controlled natural lighting. The Kimbell houses a small, highly regarded permanent collection that includes works by European and Asian masters and rotating special exhibitions. The museum and its building are frequently cited in architectural histories as a seminal example of 20th-century museum design.
