Sid Richardson Museum, Fort Worth TX

100° day; 2 18 year olds… one tired mama. The museum was closing and the kids only got to spend about 45 minutes. They want to go back! Much appreciation for the art collection. We appreciate the reality of the American West. I am partial to Remington while the kids loved Russell. We live in Fort Worth and will go back to spend more time.

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff.
This is a small gallery but worth the visit.

And they are one of the only museums in Fort Worth open on Monday so don’t pass up a weekday viewing when downtown!

It is a small museum with only 2 rooms to display paintings and a few bronze sculptures from the collection of Sid Richardson. The docent was heard explaining some of the works to other visitors and offered good services to us too. But we were short on time as we had a flight to catch. The western paintings by Charles Russell and Frederic Remington were impressive and the short descriptions of each of the paintings help in understanding the details. Apparently the displays are changed often. There is a self portrait of Frederic Remington and a bronze sculpture of Charles Russell. It was worth the quick stop.

Frederick Remington collection is quite nice. Ask for parking ticket validation.

Amazing staff very passionate and knowledgeable about the history and artists techniques. Free admission of western american artists
