Interview with a First Hand Visitor

Nikolas Xie – a friend – Business Management Major at UT

“The Kimbell Museum is one of my favorite museums to visit in Ft. Worth. Another close museum is the Ft. Worth Modern Art Museum, and I believe the Kimbell is far superior; however, to be fair that may have more to do with my bias towards classical art than modern.

The building has a really pretty style that doesn’t feel too old-fashioned, but not too modern either. It has a very timeless feel inside and out. The exterior features many solid arches along the side that give the building a structured feel. The side is adorned with glass windows and doors that allow a nice amount of light to come in without overwhelming me with too much sunlight. The skylights inside are also really pleasant and the natural light reflects well off of the cream-colored interiors. Overall, I always feel at ease when I go to the Kimbell, with all of these architectural design decisions definitely contributing to my enjoyment.”
