The Amon Carter Museum opened in January 1961 to house the collection of western art amassed by Fort Worth publisher and Dallas-hater Amon Carter. Expanding on Carter's original collection of 400 paintings, drawings, and works of sculpture by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell - the single most important collection of works by these artists - the museum now encompasses a wide range of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture, as well as photographs from the early days of the medium to the present.

Cocktail Hour: Grand Marnier Margaritas Eager to populate its "picturesque patio", the Mansion is serving free f-r-e-e margaritas made with Grand Marnier. Provisos: It's from 6 to 7 p.m. only, and seating is "limited", although they don't say to whom. Probably not you, but what the hell. More info
