Kimbell Art Museum (Louis Kahn building)

The Kimbell Art Museum, designed by architect Louis I. Kahn and opened in 1972, is located in Fort Worth's Cultural District and is celebrated as a seminal work of museum architecture. Its cycloid-vaulted galleries and controlled natural lighting are widely discussed in architectural literature. The museum houses a compact but highly regarded collection ranging from antiquity through the 20th century and is a frequent subject of local cultural histories.
