Art Review: ‘Queen Nefertari’s Egypt’ at the Kimbell Art Museum

A few months ago, I wrote about the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth. It’s one of my favorite museums. It’s an eccentric place, of the loftiest and most luminous kind. It’s a small collection of the best of the best in art, paintings generally but also sculpture, largely European but some antiquities. Its 300 or so objects are displayed in a Louis Kahn building — both very modern and indisputably classical — in Fort Worth.

I like Fort Worth. It’s got cultural energy and zest, with three great museums I especially recommend: the Kimbell, the Amon Carter Museum, and the Modern Art Museum. I’ve never been to the Cowgirl Hall of Fame, the museum dedicated to the women who built the West. I’ll write about it the next time I’m there.
