Amon Carter Museum of American Art — Attraction in Fort Worth

This Saturday, a sensory day for children was hosted, and I anticipated it would be a wonderful experience. However, it quickly devolved into a series of micro-aggressions right from the moment we checked in. At first, I thought maybe I was being overly sensitive, but after seeing others' reviews, it seemed to be a recurring issue tied to race.

When we arrived, I had my Wonderfold wagon, and my friend had a pull wagon. A staff member approached my friend and asked, "Does your wagon push?" She expressed concern that pulling it might disturb the artwork. We exchanged confused glances, and I reassured her that it was just a wagon—nothing to worry about.

What really got under my skin was a bald white man who seemed to regard us as if we were less than human. I had to greet him loudly, "HI, HOW ARE YOU?" just to get him to move away from us. I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being followed by the same elderly woman from the front, along with the bald man, which added to our annoyance.

Once we made our way upstairs, there she was again! It was infuriating. To make matters worse, a Black woman in a wheelchair appeared visibly frightened by my friend's son, who was stimming, and even moved her chair away! I couldn't believe it—here was someone unable to walk, yet she was being discriminatory.

Sadly, none of the staff members dressed in black spoke to us, and the ones who did were shockingly rude. The staff who were working the event for the kids were great. Overall, 5/10; it had potential, but the venue and atmosphere were...

This art museum has much to see, but you can’t enjoy it because the staff members dressed in black constantly harass you with microaggressive racist behavior. The older white woman with perfect dentures had the nerve to call my girlfriend and me “gals,” as if we weren’t ladies. As we made our way to the second floor, the short older white man with a lazy eye began following us from the ground floor showcases to the ones upstairs. We really tried to ignore them and enjoy the beautiful art pieces on display, but after a while, I became very irritated. I confronted the man and asked him why he was following us.He claimed he was breaking out his other staff members. I also brought to his attention that the female staff were calling us "gals." He then laughed as if I had made a joke. That was enough for us, so we went downstairs and spoke with Guest Relations, who were very apologetic, and then we left. It’s very sad that racism still exists in our society. I tried my best to ignore it, but I couldn’t continue to tolerate the disrespect when all I wanted to do was appreciate some art. I would rate the art with 5 stars because it features pieces that represent all heritages and ethnicities. The prints and oil paintings are...

I am a huge fan of the work of Frederic Remington and C.M. Russell, so I was thrilled to see a large collection of their paintings, sculptures, and drawings in this wonderful museum. If you love Remington & Russell, be sure to visit here (and also be sure to visit the Sid Richardson museum not far away because it also has key pieces of their work). This museum also has a wide range of other important and interesting pieces that illustrate American art throughout our history, and their visiting collections were also wonderful. The staff was very welcoming as well. Definitely one of my favorite museum visits in recent years. Helpful details: it's free (they encourage a small contribution), they have a small free parking lot, it's two stories tall and has multiple galleries, you could rush through it in an hour or take your time and spend three or more hours there.
