- Explore the Kimbell Art Museum, the only place in North America that is home to a Michelangelo paining- The Torment of St. Anthony. The Kimbell Art Foundation was established in 1936 by Kay and Velma Kimbell, and it still owns and operates the museum. The Kimbell Art Museum officially opened in 1972 and since then has worked to acquire and retain works that define artists regardless of medium, period, or origin. The museum collected mostly British and French 18th/19th century portraits. When Mr. Kimbell died in 1964, he left his estate to the foundation with the wish it was created into a museum with a clear mission for collecting this specific type of artwork. The Kimbell collection today consists of 350 works for guests to view and appreciate its historical importance.
