Fort Worth’s Kimbell Art Museum will become the area’s first major museum to open its doors to the public, starting on Saturday, June 20 (with member-only access beginning on June 18).
The opening will be accompanied by new safety protocols, including masks required for all guests; masks for all employes; and denied access to those who are sick or showing signs of respiratory distress; and enforced six-foot social distancing.
In addition, the major exhibition of Italian art that opened on March 1 and was slated to end on June 14 has been extended through July. (Pictured is a detail of a work by Caravaggio included in the showing.) Also, work from its African, Asian and Ancient American collections will be added to the galleries of European painting and sculpture.
