The Kimbell Art Museum is a world quality museum that was originally founded in 1972. The building itself was designed by noted architect Louis Kahn and was built to house the collection of Kay Kimbell. The building is very unique in that it has no interior walls. This allows for the operators of the museum to use moveable walls to design and arrange exhibits.

There is always a new exhibit being shown at the Kimbell. Besides the temporary exhibits it also has a notable collection of permanent ones however.
