      Comments: Western and American art primarily from the 19th and early 20th century. The room of Thomas Moran paintings is just outstanding! Many other great landscape and portrait paintings too. Visit the Gilcrease and the Amon Carter in Fort Worth and you will have seen the best in Western art.

  • Philbrook Museum of Art   §   www.philbrook.org

      Comments: The building is the former mansion of oilman Waite Phillips and worth the trip alone! Of special interest is the prints and paintings from Alexander Hogue on the second floor. The collection is primarily European and American paintings. Some great American Indian pots on the lower level. The quality is high and they usually have an excellent travelling exhibit.
