Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fort Worth

I hadn’t been to the Modern in a LONG time…and shame on me, because it was absolutely fantastic! Some really lovely and inspiring works…BUT NOT ALL completely behind glass. We really enjoyed taking in several shows, and then we enjoyed a meal at their restaurant, which was great, AND the works are begging to be discussed…which again was perfect during lunch conversation…plus the restaurant overlooks a beautiful pool of water, calming and again…a way of keeping all your senses engaged while AT the modern. I will absolutely be back ASAP!

I took the 85 year old mother, two 13 year olds and the five year old, to Women Painting Women. I gave this exhibit four stars. Here is why: We are a family of artist, with all members present having exhibited art at one point or another In our lives. But I felt strongly that this exhibit should have had a deeper explanation on the graphic nature of a few works of art. I was walking into one of the exhibit rooms, the five year old had already entered, and quickly assessed the art, realizing quickly I would not be able to explain this to her. I grabbed her hand and gently guided her into another room. She looked up at me and I simply said, when you are older, I will take you into that room and we can enjoy those paintings. But right now, let’s look at some other things. I normally love the exhibits, but this one posed a little bit of a family challenge for the little one. Thank you Modern Art Museum for all the contributions to give our community.
