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.
