It’s a great museum and has wonderful art. I think it’s a little small, but they did have a speaker today that seemed interesting. I was too late to attend all of it so I’m not sure what it was about though.

A great place, but probably not kid friendly.

We visited the Kimball Museum of Art on a Sunday afternoon around 1:30 p.m. A local had recommended their parking garage, as he found it impressive. We missed the turn and wound up parking in a surface lot across the street.

I was confused by the Kimball's website - my impression was that it cost $18 per person to get it, but apparently that is just for special exhibits. It is free to see the standard collection. They should consider making that clearer on the website, assuming they want more patronage.

The staff at the front desk was helpful. When you enter, there is a large room with models and photos showing the history of the museum and past exhibits. Then you ascend the stairs at the back to reach the main galleries. At that point, you can go to the right for works focused on east Asia and India primarily. To the right are galleries focused on European works. Unfortunately we had to cut our visit short, but if I make it back I'd spent more time here. Also, I think there is a 2nd building across a small courtyard but we didn't make it over there.

From what we did see, this was a very worthwhile stop for anyone who enjoys art.

Having previously seen some of its Asian pieces, the Kimbell has been on my list for years. The venue makes everything easy. Underground parking is free; you can get upstairs via stairs or elevator; its two buildings (just a short walk in between) are easily accessible; admission is free; it provides free folding chairs that visitors can carry between rooms (not all have public seating).

I loved the collection. There isn’t a 2nd tier piece on display. Example: it has a Donatello! The labels are equally great. Although I consider myself knowledgeable regarding Himalayan art, I learned something new with the 1st label, which was fantastic.

The on-site cafe is large and the food tasty. No reservations are required and the food is moderately priced. Some seating looks towards an enclosed courtyard featuring art.

It was a great visit and one I’d recommend.

Small museum with everything you need. Nicely quiet and spaced out. It was not too crowded and had many children. You can walk to many other museums too.

It is not a bad collection, but know what to expect.

The collection includes some well known names - Michelangelo, Monet and others. A lot of it was focused on European and Biblical themes. There is also an Asian section and a small special exhibit of early Central American art. I found the main collection to be pretty narrow. Most works include extensive descriptions of the piece - they point out details that may go unnoticed, but it can also get tiring.

There are two buildings. In my opinion, they are poorly laid out in terms of accessibility or avoiding weather (it was cold and wet when I went); it was tiresome and probably impacted my enjoyment of the art. I'm not appreciating the buildings as much as others do. Most staff was friendly; but they seemed rude when I approached sections that were not clearly closed off (a simple "section closed" sign would be helpful). The parking garage, oddly, was the most pristine garage I had ever been in.
