Cooped Up With the Carter

Find more ways to experience art from home in the Amon Carter Museum of American Art’s new video series inspired by the museum’s collection and history. The new series Cooped Up with the Carter brings the Carter to your doorstep.

Join museum staff members and community partners as they explore artwork from the Carter’s collection and lead you in inspired creative activities made from materials that people have lying around their house.

Art meets appetite in Cooped Up with the Carter: In the Kitchen where Carter staff brings you homemade recipes that take art inspiration to a whole new level.

Viewers can also get their own personal tour of our special exhibitions from Carter curators in our special Cooped Up with the Carter: Exhibition Tour segments.
