About Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, commonly known as The Modern, brings cutting-edge modern and contemporary art to the Fort Worth Cultural District. Designed by famed architect Tadao Ando and opened in 2002, the building itself is a work of art. The museum features multiple event spaces, a theater, education spaces, and Café Modern. When you’re planning a visit or a private event, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby places to stay and dine.
Whether you’re attending a public exhibition like Urban Theater: New York Art in the 1980s or México Inside Out: Themes in Art Since 1990, you can expect a welcoming experience with straightforward ticketing and flexible event spaces. The Modern continues to host a range of experiences in its Grand Lobby, Café Modern, and other rooms, with capacity specifics available via the venue’s floorplan download.
For guests driving in, on-site parking is free for museum visitors, with additional options nearby such as the UNT Health Science Center garage, Platinum Parking across from The Modern, and the West 7th area garages (often with validation). Transit is convenient via Trinity Metro (buses 2W and 7), TEXRail, and TRE, plus rideshare and bike-share options. Nearby, you’ll find a selection of hotels to suit different preferences and budgets, including Bowie House (Auberge Resorts Collection) near Camp Bowie Blvd, The Ashton Hotel in Downtown Fort Worth, and The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel downtown. If you’re planning a private event or a public visit, secure your seats or tickets by connecting with trusted partners for a smooth experience.
Amenities at The Modern include a dedicated café—Café Modern—for a bite before or after an exhibit, and flexible event spaces with varying capacity allocations. The floorplan is available to download for events to help you plan the perfect venue layout. The museum has not undergone renaming or demolition and remains The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, a staple in Fort Worth’s cultural landscape.
