Amarillo, TX

Take a break from the usual and take a little while to visit the Amarillo Museum of Art. This museum has a mission of providing quality visual arts that span all medias and time periods. The impact of seeing any given exhibition makes a special, individual impression on each set of eyes that takes it in. In other words, you and your significant other could be looking at the same exhibit, but you may have completely different interpretations of what you saw when you sit and discuss your thoughts. Fostering that spirit of communication and expression is what the Amarillo Museum of Art constantly works to achieve.
