This is a wonderful, wonderful place and the staff is SO helpful! I led a group of out of staters here on a spur of the moment drop in....I asked if someone could tell them about Sid Richardson and the museum...and the staff person there gladly helped...my visitors were SO very impressed with the museum and the extensive collection. Thank you for this wonderful museum. A second visit with an out of towner who was so impressed but could NOT believe that ONE person had owned all of these wonderful paintings!! Bravo to your helpful staff!

Located in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, this is great museum to check out! It is fairly small, but the artwork is nothing short of breath taking. There is no entrance fee and it will only take 30 minutes or so. There is also a gift shop which is pretty affordable. Definitely worth checking out!

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 its 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. Dont go in looking for a souvenir trinket. I didnt notice one in the whole shop. A downtown Ft. Worth must see.

This is a small museum that is full of beautiful western art. It costs nothing to get in. It is located in downtown Ft Worth. There was an attendant there who was extremely knowledgeable about the art pieces. This museum is definitely worth taking a look at!

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.

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.

I knew nothing of the people or the artists but the cop in the square told us to check it out. I learned quite a few things. Back story was interesting and the art is different. I enjoyed it alot. Tons of info and history. The gift shop was cheaper than the normal gift shops and had a bunch of unique things. The tour of the museum was free. Check it out when youre visiting the square.

Free museum featuring works by Remington and other turn of the 20th century western artists. Small gallery space. Well worth the quick visit. A gift shop in the entrance, contains reprints on canvas for sale. Highly recommend when in Sundance Square.

We had a diaper bag for our baby with us. They wouldnt let us carry in a backpack. There was another lady in there with a backpack on that they didnt 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. Thats the only difference.

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.

Despite its 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.

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

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 Im 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. Im 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. Ive 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. Ive never experienced such oppressing security in a place or been told to stand away from the art like I was here. Im 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.
