The Amarillo Museum of Art is a compact regional museum with changing exhibitions and a permanent collection that includes American, Asian and modern works. Its campus setting gives it a quieter mood than the roadside Americana that often defines Amarillo for passers-by.
It is a good indoor stop if you are spending time in town rather than simply driving Route 66 or heading for Palo Duro Canyon. Check the exhibition schedule, because temporary shows often determine how rewarding a visit will be.
