I always brag about how great our museums are here in Ft. Worth-we've got 9 world class museums within 5 miles of TCU-but the Kimball Art Museum took it to a whole different level yesterday when it acquired Michelangelo's The Torment of Saint Anthony. The local Museum beat out the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the piece. The price tag for the painting-one of only 4 free standing easel paintings by Michelangelo-was not disclosed but a similar painting went for $69 million in 2002.
