THE CULTURE OF COWTOWNMasterpieces abound in the museums of the Fort Worth Cultural District, located a few miles west of downtown.Many come to enjoy the Cultural District's celebrated attractions and assets including the five world-class museums that have earned it the title of the "museum capital of the Southwest": the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Kimbell Art Museum, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame. This is, without question, one of the finest collections of museums in America. In a single, park-like setting, you can span virtually the entire history of art, from priceless antiquities to Impressionist milestones to modern artworks. It’s a wonderful place to find inspiration, broaden your horizons and spend some quality time with your family. The Cultural District is also home to the Will Rogers Memorial Center, home of the Annual Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, as well as the acclaimed theater, Casa Mañana. Enjoy nature’s masterpieces at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, The Fort Worth Zoo and the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, or go jogging or biking along the river in Trinity Park. Crockett Row at West 7th, Montgomery Plaza, the Foundry District, the new Left Bank development, and the many surrounding restaurants, shops, and bars provide the perfect setting for tourists and locals alike to enjoy Fort Worth's entertainment scene whether staying for a few hours, a weekend, or setting down roots. The Cultural District is a hub for thriving educational opportunities including the many existing programs of UNT Health Science Center and its new partnership with TCU which will result in a joint medical school slated to open in 2018. Even more opportunities are on the horizon with the new Dickies Arena coming soon. It is anticipated that it will attract a wide variety of high-quality entertainment options to include concerts, sporting events and family shows, as well as host the month-long Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.SUPPORT THE CULTURAL DISTRICTAs one of the fastest growing areas of development in Fort Worth, it is
