"Amazing Place For Those Who Enjoy Art"

Posted on 4/30/2012 by An Eventective User from Fort Hood, Texas
Being stationed in Forth hood with the army. A good escape with the family every once in a while is mandatory and great. The trip to Fort Worth's Modern Art Museum was a amazing experience. The modern look of the place and the structure was simply a dream. Even I would want to live there. They offer many services as well including catering by Cafe Modern. The dishes where simply one of the kind even the food looks beautiful on the plate. From what I can remember they have many displays including Chinese styles. Basically there is a little bit for everyone here when it comes down to it. I happened to get a chance to go there on a weekend with a bunch of army friends and we filled up the whole place about 150 of us. So the Museum can hold a lot of people. From what I can remember going through the paintings with my friends there was plenty of WWII paintings and sculptures. I was in love with a lot of the abstract art they have there. Rumor has it that many people have held weddings there as well. Which would be a beautiful place to hold weddings. The lobby was huge I remember it being called the "Grand Lobby" for a reason. If you are in the area it does not hurt to spend a few bucks and drop by the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth you really will not regret it! Especially those in the Army stationed at Forth Worth!

The Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art is not only a fantastic place to enjoy modern art, it's also the perfect venue to hold your dream wedding. A gorgeous reflecting pool provides the backdrop for your big day, and the museum's stunning modern architecture will provide memories for a lifetime. The museum can be reserved for private events and catered by the museum's own Cafe Modern. The Cafe was named by Gourmet Magazine as one of America's best restaurants. And because the catering at MOMA is exclusively provided by Cafe Modern, you can rest assured that the food and refreshments will be both tantalizing and elegant. Chef Dena Peterson, a Fort Worth native, takes pride in utilizing locally grown produce to create globally-inspired dishes with a hint of Southern flair. Some of the available catering options include an Avocado Bar, an Imported and Domestic Cheese Display, a Churrascara Station, and a Chilled Seafood Display. Full menus and catering options, including pricing, are accessible through the Cafe Modern website. The cafe seats up to 125 people, although special arrangements can be made for up to 250 people. Private access to the art galleries can also be arranged, including guided tours by one of the museum's docents. The Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art is dedicated to preserving post-WWII art in a variety of forms including painting, sculpture, video, and print. All major, international art movements are represented in the museum's collection of nearly 3,000 pieces. When planning your wedding, keep the Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art in mind , its combination of striking art, beautiful architecture, and delicious food can provide the wedding you've always dreamed of.
