	Kimbell Art Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kimbell Art Museum is situated in the Cultural District of Fort Worth, Texas.
		The Kimbell Art Institute was established as a result of a bequest by Kay Kimbell, a Texan industrialist and art collector, to establish an art institute for the people of Texas.
		The museum is not large, but the collection of artwork is wide-ranging and would not be out of place in any of the world's great art galleries.

	Handbook of Texas Online: KIMBELL ART MUSEUM
		In 1935 the Kimbell Art Foundation was established to support the Kimbells' growing collection; the foundation lent paintings to the public library, to churches, to nearby colleges and universities, and to leading regional museums.
		When Kimbell died in 1964 he left his collection of several hundred works of art and his fortune to the Kimbell Art Foundation, the sole purpose of which became the establishment and support of the Kimbell Art Museum.
		The Kimbells' collection, which focused primarily upon British art of the eighteenth and nineteenth century, formed the nucleus of the museum's holdings.

		The collection of the Kimbell Art Museum is admired and appreciated, but the building itself is as important and as well known as any of the works found within its walls.
		Kimbell, a prosperous businessman with holdings in a variety of companies, along with his wife, Velma, and a sister and brother-in-law, formed the Kay Kimbell Art Foundation in 1936.
		Today the Kimbell Art Museum remains essentially as it was on its opening day, a graceful tribute to the generosity of the Kimbell Art Foundation and the architectural genius of Louis Kahn.

		The Kimbell Art Museum was commissioned by the board of directors of the Kimbell Art Foundation in the fall of 1966.
		The Kimbells had not required that their existing collection, consisting primarily of English and European 18th- and early 19th-century works in the grand manner, be maintained intact.
		Kimbell said that her husband wanted the museum to be "of the first class" and clearly agreed that this meant the collection could and should be expanded in breadth and raised in quality whenever possible.

	Kimbell Art Museum
		The Kimbell Art Museum designed by Louis I. Kahn is situated on nine and one half acres in Amon Carter Square Park, Fort Worth, Texas.
		The Kimbell Art Museum has a fairly simple yet deceptive structural system as far as vertical loading is concerned, especially concerning the corner placement of the columns.
		The Kimbell Art Museum uses its shear walls and arched roof forms to create a strong skin that resists lateral loads in both the east-west and north-south directions.

	Kimbell Art Museum
		A simple composition of parallel concrete vaults, the Kimbell Art Museum (1966-72) reveals itself to the visitor before stepping inside the building, with the porticoes that seem to be a superfluous continuation of the building's vaulting.
		The unnecessary porches (as referred to by Kahn) define the structural vocabulary of the whole museum: basically a concrete beam (100' x 23') in the shape of a cycloidal vault, supported by four square columns.
		The Kimbell Art Museum illustrates the changing ideas that shaped Kahn's buildings, from the "served and servant" focus of his earlier buildings to his enigmatic dictum of "silence and light" near the end of his career.

	Sister Wendy's American Collection \| The Museums \| Kimbell Art Museum
		The Kimbell Art Museum is the youngest museum on Sister Wendy's tour.
		Both the small size of the Kimbell collection -- works number in the hundreds, not the thousands -- and the building which houses it are remarkable.
		The museum has done this, by extending its range -- while keeping the size small -- to embrace landmark 20th-century art, as well as Asian, Pre-Columbian, and African art and antiquities from Egypt and the Near East.
