Fort Worth's Cultural District is an area of the city that is only about 1/2 mile West of Downtown Fort Worth, across the Clear Fork of the Trinity River. The area closest to the west bank of the river has been recently named West 7th due to a notable concentration of higher density developments, and it acts as the gateway to the district from downtown; I will include it in this thread as part of the cultural district. The cultural district is named for the many museums and livestock show facilities that are grouped together, as well as a few theaters and botanic attractions as well. It is closely surrounded by Trinity River parkland on the Southeast and rather unremarkable single family neighborhoods to the immediate North and West that I did not photograph. I will post the thread in a series of segments, beginning with the West 7th developments and traveling West to a small concentrated area of the University of North Texas Health Science Center. From there, the tour turns South to the cluster of museums, and then to the livestock show facilities, and finally the botanic attractions.

This spans the Clear Fork of the Trinity River, with Downtown Fort Worth in the distance. The bridge is the more memorable of the two bridges to the district from downtown.
