Historic Sundance Square in Fort Worth holds the Sid Richardson Museum, which you now face. This museum, opened in 1982, sits in a replica of an 1895 building among a group of restored turn-of-the-century buildings in downtown Fort Worth. It began as the personal collection of oilman and philanthropist Sid Williams Richardson (1891–1959), who acquired these works primarily through Newhouse Galleries in New York from 1942 until 1959.
The collection features permanent and special exhibitions of paintings by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, and also includes works by Oscar E. Berninghaus, Charles F. Browne, Edwin W. Deming, William Gilbert Gaul, Peter Hurd, Frank Tenney Johnson, William R. Leigh, Peter Moran and Charles Schreyvogel. The paintings reflect both the artistic visions and the realities of the American West as seen by late 19th and early 20th-century artists. The Sid Richardson Foundation trustees chose this site for its convenience to downtown visitors and workers as well as for the historic atmosphere of the area.
Remington and Russell hang here as a public window on the West, ringed by the restored turn-of-the-century buildings of downtown Fort Worth and Sundance Square.
