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."

德州的夏天很热,大家都会躁得慌,偶尔静下心来逛逛美术馆真的挺不错。美术馆展出约350件艺术品,包括古典文物,莫奈,毕加索和马蒂斯等艺术家的欧洲杰作。美洲唯一一副米开朗基罗的画作-Kimbell就在这里展出,因此美术馆以此命名。这里也是常年免费对公众开放的。
