Nice museum experience
We went to the Kimbell Museum to participate in their afternoon tea service and then walked around. The tea service was a fun event and something our teenagers seemed to enjoy. When do you get to dress up and have a tea service in a museum? It cost a little bit but was worth it. The museum itself was really nice. It is a small museum but they have a lot of the big names in art. This would be a great museum for kids that don't like walking around museums (since it is so small). They have two buildings but only one is available to walk around unless you are paying to see the exhibition which we weren't. I would like to say that their parking garage is the nicest parking garage I have ever seen. If you go, make sure you park in the garage and you'll understand what I am talking about. One painting worth seeing is Michelangelo's "Torment of Saint Anthony" since it is his first painting and it's just pretty cool seeing something by Michelangelo.

Great Exposition of Artistic Expression
My daughter and I have been here many times, mostly for traveling collections, but we have seen quite a bit of the permanent collection. Really a great facility. A building is a building, but they seem to have great skill in choosing good representation of various artists, regions, and styles so that you can get a good grasp of the work of a culture or artist. Traveling collections tend to be the most interesting, but they cost (at present) about $22 a person. Permanent collection is also quite compelling and completely free. If you are in the area and have an interest in art, it is worth seeing.
