Groomed Texas Prairie

What a nice approach to the Louis Kahn designed Kimbell Art Museum with the Renzo Piano designed addition to the museum at one’s back. So often museums have esplanades of concrete or stone, or they are ceremoniously overplanted. The Kimbell Art Museum may be the only museum that transcends the traditional rivalry between Dallas and Fort Worth because both cities take such great pride in this destination museum and cultural landmark. I love that one is immediately reminded we are in the plains of Texas, not the hill country of Austin, or in the canyons of Amarillo. Just as plains go dormant and a horizon becomes endless, this approach provides no distraction to the anticipation of seeing the architectural genius of Louis Kahn and the wonderful permanent art collection inside the museum.
