Apollo 11: Promises Kept

T

Introducing V-DROME 2020

The first steps on the Moon fifty years ago were the culmination of a challenging and sometimes grim journey, the realization of what seemed an impossible dream and the beginning of new dawn in exploration. Launchpad: Apollo 11 Promises Kept, a new exhibition designed and curated by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, commemorates the milestone anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and introduces V-Drome 2020, a preview of an exciting new theatrical experience planned for late 2020.

“The Apollo 11 moon landing marked one of those moments in time that defined us as a generation, a nation and even as a civilization,” said Van A. Romans, Museum president. “It was a promise fulfilled and that is why this exhibition is an appropriate backdrop to introduce V-Drome. For generations, this Museum has had a commitment to innovative learning experiences and

the introduction of our new 4-D flyover theater marks a milestone for education as well. The new V-Drome will turn digital content into an absolutely immersive and unforgettable experience. It’s a new chapter in learning for us all.”

KEY MAGAZINE

July 2019

The V-Drome preview includes a pre-show experience with a comprehensive overview of the planned expansion at the Museum and an enclosed 360-degree theater that reveals some of the technology and science behind the

flyover theater experience and how it will provide unique educational opportunities for learners of all ages.

“V-Drome is the fulfillment of our commitment to the Academy of Digital Learning (ADL), which was created to deepen our understanding of the world around us through interactive storytelling,” said Romans. “Thanks to ADL, guests will be engaged in creative learning experiences within a rich and nurturing environment.”

Launchpad: Apollo 11 Promises Kept features space artifacts from the Museum’s significant collection, custom-built interactive exhibits and a cutting-edge layer of technology to create an immersive and exciting cosmic journey. This 10,000 square-foot exhibition is now open in the Museum’s Gary Havener Gallery on the second floor. It pays tribute to the past and future of space exploration with a collection of Apolloera artifacts and interactive technology.

“Fifty years ago, we first set foot upon the Moon,” said astrophysicist Dr. Doug Roberts, chief public engagement officer. “I think it’s interesting to ponder where we will be fifty years from now.”

Dr. Roberts leads the Museum’s Academy of Digital Learning team, which was instrumental in curating the objects

and developing multimedia content featured in the exhibition. “Launchpad weaves physical artifacts with the virtual and artistic experiences with academic. I am hopeful our visitors will find a story to excite and inspire them.”

The new exhibition features objects that visited the Moon, including the United States and City of Fort Worth flags carried to the Moon’s surface by the lunar lander Intrepid as well as mission checklists with handwritten notes by Apollo 12 astronaut and Fort Worth native, Alan Bean, who was the fourth man to walk on the lunar surface.

Additional highlights include: Roving on Mars - Cutting-edge augmented reality technology puts guests in the middle of the action as Curiosity Rover goes to work on a life-size reproduction of the Martian landscape.

Journey of Apollo and Beyond - Artifacts from our collection tell the story of six decades of space exploration. Highlights include rarely seen photographs, audio clips and video from NASA’s earliest days in space.

Science of Space - From gyroscopes to special cameras, space is full of fascinating science. Interact with hands-on activities to learn about physics, chemistry and engineering and learn how astronomers study the universe.

Art of Space - For centuries, humans have tried to capture the mystery of the cosmos and the wonder it evokes through expressions in art. Art of Space explores those ideas and encourages guests of all ages to create works of their own.

VR Laboratory - You can’t (yet) book that trip to the Moon, but you can see what astronauts saw in stunning virtual reality (VR). Launchpad’s VR Laboratory includes more than a dozen VR headsets to explore the past, present and future in space.

Following his retirement, Bean pursued his interest in painting. The exhibition also features an original Bean painting, prints of several others, plus the astronaut’s essays describing his work.

For more information about the exhibition and special programming planned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing this summer, please visit www.fortworthmuseum.org.

West is Among the Best for Culture and Shopping-and-Dining Delights

A

by Michael H. Price

As long as we’re “out where the West begins,” as an iconic figure in Fort Worth’s history described this Cowtown, then we might as well look even further westward within the city itself. Pioneering publisher and civic booster Amon Carter may have intended to give Dallas the razz when he coined that phrase — but the West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth.

And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have picked a site more right for its burgeoning west side Cultural District. Rippling with heavy-duty commercial, artistic and residential growth since the dawn of the 21st century, the west side overall has seen its very skyline change with the transformation of a busy West Seventh Street into a streamlined conduit connecting the downtown area’s Sundance Square development with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the Cultural District radiating from the intersection where Seventh Street crosses University Drive and, in the process, morphs into the historic, brick-paved Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining to fine art and varied entertainment — will find such delights in volume on the west side.

Cultural attractions, restaurants, mainstream and special-interest shopping, and lavish natural gardens flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has built upon its frontier origins. Several of the world’s finer museums, playhouses and galleries anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid red-brick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard is an attraction in itself, lined with an everexpanding array of art galleries, stage-andscreen auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls.

The Cultural District The Fort Worth Museum of Science & History commands the westward view of the district from Montgomery Street, and just northward are additional cultural touchstones: Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture. The collection spans early nineteenth-century art to mid-twentieth century modernism. It is also home to nearly 400 works by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. Nearby is the Kimbell Art Museum still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America” including its new Renzo Piano Pavilion addition. The neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a workof-art 2002 building designed by worldrenowned Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions, concert attractions and, every weekend, leading-edge independent-studio films.

The Museum of Science & History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has been designed by similarly renowned architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the Museum of Science & History, one finds vast galleries of Texas-bred dinosaur specimens and the state’s oil-and-gas heritage, in addition to the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and a new digital Noble Planetarium. The Omni Theater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links with the Museum of Science & History and boasts a new digital sound system and enhanced lighting.The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is next door to the FWMS&H.The NCM&HF honors women of the American West from

those who lived and worked on ranches or who led an expedition, or sat before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s eye, or sat on the Supreme Court.

When the museum meanderings trigger an appetite for fine dining, two long-established, museum-based cafés stand ready to serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers indoor or patio lunch and a light evening menu within one of the most beautiful modern buildings in America. The Modern Art Museum’s 250-seat Café Modern, with an outdoor terrace, overlooks a serene reflecting pond. The Modern’s full-service kitchen delivers superb cuisine for lunch, Sunday brunch, and scheduled seasonal dinners.

The Great Outdoors offers breakfast subs, lunch and dinner subs, soups, salads and all natural ice cream. Off University on White Settlement Road, a Texas barbecue tradition reigns at Angelo’s, offering a half-century of first-class BBQ and ultra-chilled beer.

The Fort Worth Community Art Center, at the district’s western edge, showcases work by the city’s homegrown community of artists, in addition to live-theater venues.

Neighboring the museum community is the city’s landmark Will Rogers Memorial Center, a versatile 85-acre entertainment complex — with 45 acres housing the Will Rogers Coliseum & Auditorium. Its majestic Pioneer Tower dates from the Texas Centennial Celebration of 1936. Still the most imposing site within the district, the coliseum holds pride of place as the first domed structure of its kind in the world. The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Showplaces of Heritage and Artistry and Nature Shoppers can find a broad selection of merchandise in the Cultural District’s specialty shops. European antiques and upholstery can be found at Domain XCIV and the dh collection boasts progressive furniture designs in an appetite-whetting environment.

Southward off University Drive, visitors can experience the glories of nature at Trinity Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers, and strollers can explore meandering pathways or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden beckons — the oldest such site in Texas, a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color.

The Garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens. The European-designed Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses, and the 10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world. An on-site Gardens Restaurant serves light lunches and refreshments — with a view of the Garden and a varied gallery that often displays the work of local artists. Adjacent to the Botanic Garden is the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) whose mission is to “reduce its footprint on the natural world as well as protect and restore ecosystem services.”

BRIT’s building was designed as an example of how much of this can be accomplished.

A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of animals, both native and exotic.

Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for optimal views of the animals, often separated from their observers by only a river, a waterfall, or a large window.

Shaded rest spots and picnic tables are available, with several on-site eateries.

Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village offers another view of the city’s rich frontier history boasting seven authentic log homes, dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside each cabin offering a living history of the home and its origin.

The mood to explore might be triggered by art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these interests and then some!

Summer Patios for Sippin’ this Summer

By Laurie James, Arts and Culinary Blogger, Visit Fort Worth

Take in the sunshine on these Fort Worth patios perfect for summer.

AMERICA GARDENS – It’s not unusual for a restaurant to have a patio. America Gardens near Crockett Row takes its patio to another level with life-size Jenga, ping pong tables, and other backyard games. Weekday lunch specials that run right into happy hour make this an attractive place to kick back.

BIRD CAFÉ – Bird boasts an enviable 2,300 feet of patio space overlooking the goings on in Sundance Square Plaza. The fully covered patio downstairs will shelter you from rain, but the upstairs balcony off the dining area is where you’ll get the full-on glamour of Bird Café under the stars.

BRANCH & BIRD – Formerly known as Perch, the restaurant at the Sky Lobby level of the Frost Tower building has a commanding view of most of downtown Fort Worth. Whether you’re in for the petite breakfast menu at sunrise, lunch, happy hour or dinner, you’ll find yourself captivated by this high-rise view.

JOE T. GARCIA’S – The original mom-n-pop restaurant on the Northside has been a staple in Fort Worth for eight decades, and the extensive outdoor patio gardens are one of the highlights we usually like to show our out-of-town guests. Go in the evening for family-style service or grab lunch or Sunday brunch where everyone can order off the menu. Cash only.

PRESS CAFÉ – Felipe Armenta’s restaurant on the Trailhead in Clearfork has dazzled food critics both locally and state-wide. But the best feature of the third in Armenta’s chain of four eateries is the wide-open outdoor space. Three fire pits and a plethora of large standing heaters combine on the huge ground-level patio to ensure relative comfort almost any day of the year.

REATA RESTAURANT – The terraced decks at the multi-level stalwart in Sundance Square provide what’s arguably the best view of downtown Fort Worth, from multiple angles. Heaters hang under the covered part of the Sunset Deck and there are stand up patio heaters located throughout the rest of the outside space, so you can pretty much enjoy your legendary Texas cuisine year-round.

ROGERS ROUNDHOUSE – The owner of Curly’s Frozen Custard on Camp Bowie branched out near University Village with a new restaurant that honors Fort Worth’s long affiliation with the railroad. Wooden picnic benches shaded by umbrellas and twinkly lights make the outdoor space both usable and beautiful.

AMON CARTER MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART -

The museum building and galleries are closed to the public to complete the building-enhancement project that began in October 2018. During the summer, renovations will extend from the upper galleries to the museum’s first floor and campus, culminating in the total transformation of the visitor experience at the Carter. The museum will reopen with nearly two weeks of members-only preview days prior to the grand reopening for the public on September 14. Everyone will be able to experience the renovated galleries, the reimagined installation of the collection, the fall exhibitions and the revamped plaza providing much-improved accessibility to the main entrance. The September 14 community celebration will begin at 10 a.m. with a daylong event during the Carter’s annual Party on the Porch featuring live music, food trucks, and cash bars.

Through this enhancement project, the Carter is changing the way people experience American creativity and opening the doors still wider to welcome old friends and new audiences to one of the country’s great holdings of American art. 3501 Camp Bowie Blvd., 817-738-1933, www.cartermuseum.org.

SID RICHARDSON MUSEUM - The museum’s focus exhibition, “Another Frontier: Frederic Remington’s East” features paintings and artifacts on loan from the Frederic Remington Art Museum in Ogdensburg, New York, as well as archival items from the St. Lawrence University Special Collections Library in Canton, New York. The paintings, letters, photographs, sketches, and diary entries take visitors far from Remington’s West to introduce them to the artist’s circle of Eastern friends, and to his beloved North Country. He made numerous trips to the West over the years, but composed his multitude of illustrations, paintings, sculptures, and writings in the East. Affected by French Impressionism, their art exuded an immediacy and freshness of vision that appealed to Remington. As hugely important as the West was for Frederic Remington, and he for it, the East was another frontier that nurtured and sustained his art.

Hrs. Mon.-Thurs. 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Fri. & Sat. 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun. noon-5 p.m. Free admission and free tours. Free valet parking in Sundance Square. For information, visit www.sidrichardsonmuseum.org or call 817-332-6554.
