The Nasher Sculpture Center focuses on displaying both modern and contemporary art pieces from the Patsy and Raymond Nasher collection, highlighted by names like Giacometti, Matisse, and Picasso.

Set on a 2.4-acre site within walking distance of other museums, it’s easily squeezed into any day of exploring.

Today we might view Fort Worth as an urban jungle, but back in the 19th century it was known as something entirely different: Fort Worth once thrived as an important trading point for cowboys, acting as a key leg on the Chisholm Trail.
Still, its Wild West atmosphere has been exceptionally well-preserved — the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame is definitely worth checking out, likewise the rodeos at the Fort Worth Stockyards.
