at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History through March 24

Titanic sank April 15, 1912 at 2:20 a.m. The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History pays tribute to the tragedy of the world’s largest ship in its “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition” six weeks away from the 101st anniversary year of its sinking on her maiden voyage. Displaying more than 250 legendary artifacts drawn from the ship’s debris field offers visitors a poignant look at the iconic ship and its passengers. The RMS Titanic’s human stories are told through authentic artifacts and extensive room recreations. Upon entrance each visitor receives a replica-boarding pass of an actual passenger. In the “Memorial Gallery” guests can check their boarding pass with the name there and discover whether their passenger and traveling companions survived or perished. Visiting the exhibit is like boarding the

ship before it departed for Southampton on its way to Queenstown, Ireland for its official sailing date of April 10, 1912. The cost of a first-class ticket on Titanic to New York in 1912 was $2,500, approximately $57,000 in 2013. A third-class ticket cost $40, which is about $900 in today’s currency. As many as 10 people lived in the third-class rooms, and there were only two bathtubs available for the more than 700 third-class passengers. The cost of leisure activities for wealthy passengers was 25 cents to get into the swimming pool, while a ticket for the squash court cost 50 cents. Sixty chefs and chef ’s assistants worked in Titanic’s five kitchens. They ranged from soup and roast cooks to pastry chefs and vegetable cooks. Titanic had its own newspaper, the Atlantic Daily Bulletin, published on board

the ship. In addition to news articles and advertisements, it contained a daily menu, the latest stock prices, horseracing results, and society gossip. Visitors to the FWMSH exhibit will find evidence of perfume from a maker who was traveling to New York to sell his samples, china etched with the logo of the

The ship was carrying The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a long poem written in quatrains encrusted with 1,050 precious stones, each set in gold. Interestingly, the room number “thirteen” was not used on the ship, and the fourth funnel on Titanic was fake; the opinion was that the fourth funnel made the ship look grander. Construction on the ship designed by Thomas Andrews for the White Star Line began March 31, 1909 and took two years to build. It was the largest ship built prior to 1912 and the largest moving object built by man. At 882 feet and nine inches Titanic was nearly four city blocks long, its width was 92 feet and 6 inches, and it was 175 feet tall. There were 2,000 portholes and the Grand Staircase was paneled in oak and included a wrought iron and glass skylight. The eclectic decor included Louis XIV, Empire Italian Renaissance, Georgian, Regence, Queen Ann, and Old Dutch. It

members were not included in those numbers because they were from another company and traveled under second-class tickets. Of the lifeboats on board Titanic 14 were main boats, 2 emergency boats, and 4 collapsibles with a total capacity for 1,178 passengers. Initially most passengers did not believe Titanic was really sinking and only 19 people got into the first lifeboat. There was room for 65 passengers. Journalist William T. Stead who was on board had written articles warning of a great maritime disaster if ships went to sea without enough lifeboats. It is said when he realized he was not going to get on a lifeboat, he went to the smoking room and began reading a book. Captain Edward John Smith, who had 38 years with White Star had planned to retire after Titanic’s maiden voyage. He was well liked by the wealthy that traveled on the White Star Line and was often referred to as “the millionaire’s Captain.” “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition” runs through March 24, 2013, Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. & Sun. noon to 5. Tickets are $26, $19, $18, & $6 for members. For tickets call 817-255-9540 or visit www.fortworthmuseum.org. 1600 Gendy Street. March 2013

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

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 heavyduty 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 specialinterest 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-and-screen 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 6

northward are additional cultural touchstones: An expanded and redesigned Amon Carter Museum of American Art, houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture, from essential historic works by Charles M. Russell and Frederick Remington to a new acquisition of last-century Native American photography by Edward S. Curtis. Close by is the Kimbell Art Museum, itself preparing for an expansion and still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America.” The neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a work-of-art 2002 building designed by world-renowned 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 FMS&H. The NCM&HF honors women of the American West from those who have 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. 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!

Through March 14 The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth’s Director Council FOCUS presents two individual exhibitions that run concurrently, one featuring the work of New York based artist Gary Simmons, and the other painter is British/Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire). Simmons is known for his “erasure” technique, which he began in the early 1990s by creating semi-erased works with chalk on a blackboard that evolved into works on paper, paint on canvas, and murals that resemble smudged chalk. Included in this exhibition is Simmons’ monumental work Subtlety of a Train Wreck which catches the moments just before the crash happens capturing the sensation that inevitably becomes a train wreck. Simmons’ work has been in numerous museum exhibitions across the USA. He recently completed commissions for the New York Presbyterian Hospital and the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Shonibare, born in London but raised in Lagos, Nigeria, is known for his use of batik to explore race and colonialism. By presenting his version of “historical...figures dressed in batik, Shonibare ‘Africanizes’ his subjects, pointing out a multitude of deep-rooted mythologies, falsehoods, and prejudices that complicate the dominant narrative of history and identity.” He also employs painting, sculpture, photography and film to make the viewer question long accepted cultural concepts of the way

Through April 14 Kimbell Art Museum’s exhibition titled “Bernini: Sculpting in Clay” features prototypes of works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The multitalented Bernini was born in Naples in 1598 but Rome is home to many of his works where one finds angels and saints in cathedrals and fountains in public places produced by him and the sculptors he sometimes hired to assist him. As a piece was in development Bernini made models in clay of many of his ideas that would culminate in life-size works in marble or bronze. “Marked with impressions from the artist’s fingers and tools, these models give the viewer a sense of looking over Bernini’s shoulder as the sculptures were taking shape.” Forty-nine terracotta archetypes, most of them by Bernini, are on view along with 20 of his drawings including a self-portrait in colored chalk ca. 1625. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Kimbell Art Museum organized this exhibition. Closed Mondays.
