The city of Texas, Fort Worth, is famous for its rich history associated with Indians, cowboys, and stories about the harsh times of the Wild West. This is evidenced by the architecture of its buildings as well as the collections of three museums dedicated to the American culture of this period. You can start your tour with the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, which has one of the largest collections in the world. It was founded by local newspaper publisher and philanthropist Amon G. Carter to store a personal collection of sculptures and paintings by Frederic Remington and Charles Marion Russell. And only after his death, the collector bequeathed it to the city. Amon G. Carter's daughter, Ruth Carter Stevenson, fulfilled her father's wish. So the museum opened its doors to the public in 1961.

After the opening of the museum, which at that time was called the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art, its collection began to replenish with the work of other masters. It soon began to represent all aspects of American art: from the first landscape painters of the early 19th century to contemporary artists.

Today, you can see hundreds of works by American sculptors, artists and illustrators, Frederick Remington and Charles Marion Russell, whose passion was the Wild West. And if for Frederic Remington this was work, then Charles Marion Russell was just obsessed with the culture of this period. Moreover, he worked as a cowboy for several years and even lived among the Indians. The entire collection of the museum has about 30 thousand items. Among them are photographs, drawings, paintings and sculptures by such great masters as an American photographer, gallerist and philanthropist Alfred Stiglitz, artist Georgia Totto O'Keeffe, landscape artists Thomas Cole and Winslow Homer, naturalist artist Martin Johnson Heade, portrait artist John Singer Sargent, pop art lover Stuart Davis and the "father" of the kinetic sculpture Alexander Calder.

The museum continues to collect objects of American art. It also holds several educational programs and events, organizes temporary exhibitions of archives and publishes many articles on its official website on the Internet.
