The Kimbell Art Museum is a comprehensive art museum that houses a small, but high-quality collection of 350 artworks, as well as an extensive research library and various educational programs. Designed by renowned architect, Louis I. Kahn, the building is recognized as a significant work of architecture, particularly for the natural, silvery light that flows across the vaulted gallery ceilings. The museum’s collection consists of European works from the classical period, including Gainsborough, Fra Angelico, and Mantegna, as well as antiquities from Egypt, Greece, and Rome. An Asian collection features paintings, sculptures bronzes, and ceramics while famous works by Picasso, Monet, Matisse, and Mondrian add a special touch. The museum boasts a substantial research library with nearly 60,000 books, periodicals and auction catalogs that are readily available as a resource to faculty and graduate students, and art historians.
