Texas is full of gorgeous architecture: the Williams Tower in Houston, Frost Bank Tower in Austin, and the star of this article, Fort Worth’s Kimbell Art Museum. Business Insider asked architects their opinions on the most beautiful buildings in the world, and this one right here in Texas made the list. It forever changed how museums use natural lighting to enhance the ambiance and accentuate the art exhibits, making it a modern masterpiece.
Designed by Louis I. Kahn, the museum is regarded as one of our modern world's most significant works of architecture.
