Kimbell Art Museum
Texas has a lot of great places to get your cultural fix, from the Dallas Museum of Art to the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin.
But only one can be named best in the state this year, and the Yelpers have spoken.
Yelp recently released its list of Top Art Museums in Every State — the best in Texas being none other than the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth's nearly 50-year-old institution that houses masterpieces from around the world, all viewable for free (with the exception of special exhibitions that require a ticket).
Yelp determined the list by identifying each state's major museums, then analyzing total volume and ratings of reviews between Jan. 1 and Oct. 11, among other factors. All needed to be marked open on Yelp and also have a passing health score as of Oct. 21.
The Kimbell is in pretty good company. Other museums on the list include The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Getty Center in California, and the Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois.
No slight to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and all the other world-class galleries around town — we understand, Yelp. Y'all could only pick one.
