Reviews of Sid Richardson Museum (Museum)

Chuck Lewis

I thoroughly enjoyed your museum! I'm from Montana but live in Taos now So I'm very familiar with Russell's art. I go to the Russell show every March in Great Falls! And I luv the story about Mr Richardson! And the painting of him by Peter Hurd!

Cute, small western museum.

Joe Parris

Good for a 20-60 minute detour while walking around downtown Fort Worth. It is an art Museum so not that great for kids.

Great museum

David Hansen

Nice small museum

Mary Williams

I live in Dallas and have been to this museum many times and enjoy it every time I come. I bring visitors from all over the world here. Great small museum of important Western art paintings and sculptures plus good shop for nice gifts. Sorry about the person who had a bad experience here - can't even imagine it as staff has always been super nice to me every time I have been there.

Deborah Gray

It's a FREE Museum, so was the art museum. Fort Worth, Texas is a treasure no one has told me about!

Irma Puente

The ladies in the front made this an enjoyable visit for my 4 and 7 year old grandkids.

Danny Wheat

Staff was so helpful and kind.

An excellent small museum, especially if you like Western art. What this museum lacks in size it makes up for in downtown convenience. Plus, admission is free.

Russell Rogers

Nice small free attraction to visit while in the downtown Fort Worth area. All of the friendly staff treated us with hospitality and were happy to help us when we had questions.

Tibor Tamas

Free museum downtown Fort Worth, near Sundance Square. Mostly Remington paintings. The guide was knowledgeable and attentive. Great place to visit.

Stacie Therson

Despite it's location, this museum had substance. Allow yourself pleanty of time to move through the gallery, reading the informational brochure for each work of art; the details and perspectives in the brochure greatly echance the experience.

benjamin hernandez

I love going to this museum. The permanent collection is lovely and always nice to look at. The traveling collections are always awesome. The museum has programs/activities available during the summer for kids and adults. The best part about the museum is that it is free to the community to experience all types of art and subjects

Michael Pantelis

Lived in Ft. Worth for 30 years and did not know they were here!! Found a few cute Christmas ornaments for the tree this year - I will be back again

Joshua White

What a wonderful surprise tucked into the shopping and restaurants located around Fort Worth’s Sundance Square. A collection of paintings from Remington and Russell. The friendly staff and informative print guide (all free of charge) with the gorgeous paintings made this a trip highlight.

This small art museum features the work of Frederic Remington who is widely known for his contribution to the mystic and allure of the "wild west" in the American concious. I had never seen his work before and was intrigued by the beauty of the art. I especially enjoyed the free Gallery Guide given to us by the staff inside the museum. Her friendly smile and eagerness to invite us in was a welcomed advantage. Unfortunately, I cannot convey the same gratitude to the roaming security guard inside the gallery. When we first arrived, he loudly scolded my 12-year old son for standing too close to the artwork. As I'm attempting to build an appreciation for art in my child, this deflated my son immediately and he sat down on the bench, uninterested in the remainder of our visit. As we toured throughout the rest of the gallery, this same guard continued to loudly converse with two other patrons for almost our entire visit. I'm okay with random conversation about the art, but there is an etiquette demanded in a quiet gallery like this. His laughing and loud conversation with this older couple distracted from our experience. As I was half way through the gallery, I leaned into look at a very small pencil drawing. I turned to see this guard coming up with obvious intention to scold me for standing too close. I had enough of this guy and called for my wife and son to depart. The guard actually swallowed his speech as I called for my wife to leave. It was a bit humorous. I've been to countless art museums, including World Class museums, and at times stand within 12" of priceless art to see the brush strokes and how time has affected the peice. I've never experienced such oppressing security in a place or been told to stand away from the art like I was here. I'm an adult that respects art and have control over my body to avoid touching the peice. Perhaps this collection needs to be placed in a secure vault or behind stantions if they have such concerns over people standing too close to it.

Michael Landry

Named after the Oil Tycoon that collected these Western Themed painting depicting the old West with cowboys and Indians. Free to view in downtown Fort Worth. Only a fraction of the paintings of the collection are displayed at one time, so come back in a few months and there will be different ones displayed. Worth the visit and not overwhelming to take time to view and enjoy.

Karl Walker

Love it

Shelia Bonner

Great field trip with school.

William Banks

We just stumbled onto the Sid Richardson Museum strolling around downtown Ft. Worth on a nice late winter afternoon. One of us (me) is a huge Charlie Russell fan so were for sure going to go in and see what sort of a place this was when we noticed it was free. An art museum in downtown Fr. Worth with originals paintings by the two most famous western artists of all time and free!!! That alone is worth five stars. The museum is small - basically just two rooms but the collection is incredible. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. The building is entered through the gift shop (of course! - I think it's some sort of Museum rule that the patrons must enter or leave through the gift shop) and the gift shop was almost as much fun as the museum. It was small also but filled with some very nice items, many locally made, and quite reasonably priced. It also had a small but very nice collection of western books, art and otherwise. Don't go in looking for a souvenir trinket. I didn't notice one in the whole shop. A downtown Ft. Worth must see.

Gs Gs

It's free...

Wanda Hamilton

What a wonderful collection of Western art. We enjoyed both the pantings & the history behind Mr. Richardson and his collection. Definitely recommend to all coming to Ft. Worth.

Rose Jones

Everyone was very friendly. I'm not overly enthused by Midwestern art, not really my cup of tea but if that's your thing this is the place to go.

Kevin Little

Wonderful

freshcut0619

A gem. Cannot adequately recommend this gallery more enthusiastically

Sean Murphy

Free!

clara walton

We had a diaper bag for our baby with us. They wouldn't let us carry in a backpack. There was another lady in there with a backpack on that they didn't have to take away and lock up before they would allow you to enter. They took it away from my husband. Who happens to be black and the other woman was white. That's the only difference.

Ilene Pike

It's a museum you can visit for free. If you like Western Art that's the place to go very good stuff.

David Espenlaub

This is a real jewel...bot ro ne missed!!

Brennan Higgins

A small, but expertly curated museum focusing on the history of the American West. Amazing and free to the public

Virginia

Small collection from a very wealthy individual. I was only familiar with Remington as a sculptor I liked his paintings better. The Russell cowboy and Indian pictures didn't move me much.

Chip Pierce

A lovely little jewel of western history

Eshale Huffnagle

Great place to visit

Kelly Campbell

Great Tex-Mex!

Mary O'Brien

Terrific little Western art museum, focusing on Remington and Russell works. Artwork is presented in a luxe gallery for relaxed viewing; admission is free! Attached gift shop offers nice mementos of the visit; the museum is in the Sundance Square area of Fort Worth, great for sightseeing.

Mary McEvers

Absolutely wonderful

Bob Lommel

The museum is definitely worth a stop. The museum is free. Americans' belief of how the old west looked was formed from the art of the two men whose works are on display: Remington and Russell.

Laura Grubb

A must for visitors. This small well appointed museum is located in Sundance square in downtown Fort Worth displaying a great selection of Remington original paintings and sculptures. You can park in any of the various garages located in the downtown area.

Jon

A great free museum with awesome paintings and a few sculptures.

Dean Eiden

Love the price. Free. The best collection of Western Art

Luke L

Free. Bam.. and fantastic selection of art.

Jane Wollenweber

Great collection of Remington and Russell paintings tucked in a charming Fort Worth downtown .

Chas Furlow

I did not appreciate being watched by security following me on my movements, I noticed while watching me others were not, have someone watching EVERYONE and not just people of color with a security camera in a security room...Trump Era, Hell is waiting!

Benito Medero

great Western art

Paul Ferguson

Had a great time!

Anthony Clement

Cool place

Joe Woodard

A real treasure of Western paintings by Charles Russell and & Frederic Remington.

Luca D'Amico

Super fun and quick visit to learn about who Sid Richardson was and view his personal collection of art.

Amanda Harris

Wonderful and FREE western art exhibit. Very much in line with the Remington and Russell pieces you'll see at the Amon Carter. Worth a visit when you are in Fort Worth!

Ildikó Horváth

A definitely interesting gallery in Downtown Fort Worth. It's free to enter and you'll find gorgeous paintings and sculptures of the cowboys of the wild west. The staff is very helpful and friendly and you can find the nicest memorabilia of Texas and Fort Worth in the museum shop.

Omar Faroque

Great experience. It has lots of history.

Christina O

Nice museum, but completely botched experience due to rude workers. For something like the arts which struggles with funding and interest, you think they would be careful to avoid condescending, unnecessarily rude employees. Won't be back.
