On July 7, the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth is stepping up to celebrate Blue Star Family Sunday, a day specifically curated for active-duty military, veterans, and their families. This isn't your average museum visit. It's an opportunity to experience "Art and War in the Renaissance: The Battle of Pavia Tapestries," an exhibition that ordinarily might cost you a pretty penny, for absolutely zero dollars, according to NAS JRB Fort Worth.
It seems the Kimbell Art Museum knows just how to meaningfully say "thank you" to our servicemen and women. By providing free admission to this cutting-edge exhibit, they're not only making culture accessible but are also recognizing the sacrifices made by military families. Despite sometimes needing to quickly adapt to barely keep up with a fast-moving society, initiatives like this ensure that our veterans and their kin don't miss out on the finer things.
The exhibit itself offers a deep dive into a remarkable period of history, with the lavishly woven tapestries providing a glimpse into the turmoil and triumphs of the Italian Wars. While the 'Blue Star Museums' program is a national initiative, with more than 2,000 museums across the country participating, Kimbell's offering is unique, adding a historical flavor suitable for anyone with an interest in military history or the Renaissance era.
