The Kimbell was originally a private collection of Ft Worth merchants and their wives. When Mr. Kimbell died in 1964, their private collection was the richest collection of European masters in the southwest of the United States. Before the museum was built in 1966, founder Richard Brown said "The goal shall be definitive excellence, not size of collection." (winning by quality, not quantity). Today's Kimbell Museum contains Michelangelo's first painting, and his only painting in the Americas, "St. Anthony's Pain."

It’s hot in Texas in the summer, and everyone can panic, and it’s really good to calm down and visit the gallery occasionally. The gallery displays about 350 artworks, including European masterpieces by artists such as classical artifacts, Monet, Picasso and Mattis. The only Michelangelo painting in the Americas - Kimbell is on display here, so the gallery is named after it. It is also open to the public for free all year round.
It should be the best art museum in Dallas. There are some masterpieces of world-class masters. The collection is of high value. There are also ancient treasures from China in the exhibition. There are also many places to rest in the museum, and the outdoor environment is very comfortable.
