This unique exhibition of spectacular illustrated botanical books from the Carter and the Botanical Research Institute of Texas invites viewers to examine the relationship between art and science in these beautifully crafted collaborative creations.

This exhibition explores the most immense engineering project of the 20th century through photographs that offer glimpses into the extraordinary scale and human expense of the Panama Canal, which transformed the trade route between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

This special exhibition showcases the work of three of America’s most beloved photographers–Berenice Abbott, Margaret Bourke-White, and Walker Evans–and offers new insight into the flourishing genre of documentary photography during the 1930s.

Featuring approximately 80 seldom-seen paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs, drawings, and films, this exhibition juxtaposes the work from artists of the Americas, providing a fresh and innovative look at this dynamic and cosmopolitan period of modernism.

Drawn from the Carter’s holdings and a private collection, this exhibition highlighted Adams’s quest to “rekindle an appreciation of the marvelous” through his masterful depictions of the West in the romantic tradition of the American landscape.

This exhibition highlights the work of Leon Polk Smith, exploring how his cross-cultural experiences inspired his devotion to geometric patterning and pure colors, making him a leading practitioner of the style of abstraction popular in the mid-20th century.

This exhibition provides a groundbreaking new look at the varied directions pursued by modern artists through the majority of the 20th century, capturing the restless, spontaneous, and confident American spirit through a variety of progressive artistic styles.

This exhibition presents a survey of the resurgence of relief printmaking in America, when it was transformed into a lively art form well suited to accommodate a highly personal and experimental approach to graphic expression.

This exhibition includes prints from In the American West, the result of the Carter commissioning renowned portrait photographer Richard Avedon. It focuses on working-class people, whom Avedon described as the hidden strength of the country.

This exhibition of drawings spanning the 19th and 20th centuries represents the evolution of the medium from preliminary outlines for other artistic media to a modern means of self-expression in its own right.

While the museum is closed for expansion, visitors will still have the opportunity to experience American art through “Greatest Hits” from the museum’s collection at the Carter’s temporary gallery in downtown Fort Worth.
