Actually made a road trip just to come back to this amazing museum. Opened in 2011, following an…read more$800 million endowment from the Walton (Walmart) Family this American art museum is truly world class with representations from every major art name in America (Stuart - Washington Painting, Chihuly glass, Frank Lloyd Wright house, etc). Designed by famed architect Moshe Safdie (anyone remember the sky park buildings used as the backdrop in the film crazy rich Asians in Singapore? same architect.). The building blends naturally into the hillsides that were the wooded areas the Walton children played in growing up. I can't say enough about this fabulous museum. Constantly in change, and a new addition that will double exhibit space opening this summer admission is free, as are guided tours that cover architect, art, and everything in between. This is an absolute must see/must stop for everyone.

(There is a cost for special temporary exhibits should you be inclined to visit that section of the museum.) Works of art by Norman Rockwell (Rosie the Riveter), Grandma Moses, Gilbert Stuart's George Washington's portrait once owned by Alexander Hamilton and even an early drawing by Andy Warhol that sold originally for $35 provide a cornucopia of Americana history and lifestyles. The museum is spread out nicely and it is easy to move around. Public and Group tours are also available. There are also several trails for you to wander the grounds and see various sculptures and other works of art. Tree-shaded areas make it a nice journey even on a warm day. Parking close to the museum usually gets full by noon, but there is a structured multi-level parking lot closer to the entrance and the walk is easy to Crystal Bridges. This is also a shuttle that comes by every 10-15 minutes to take you to the entrance. NOTE: if you park in the structured lot, the first museum you will see is the Scott Family Amazeum. This is the children's museum and there is an entrance fee for this museum. Crystal Bridges is just a short distance away. The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art also has a restaurant, a coffee bar. a museum store and a library. It truly is an outstanding museum of American art and is worth your time to pay it a visit.

We had 3 children under 2 in our group and were so pleased to find things they could enjoy at this age. They have two specific toddler play areas that are for children ages 2 and below, plus another section for children ages 6 and below. It was so nice having them play in these areas without getting overrun by bigger kids! You could easily spend all day in this museum because there are endless activities and things to see. The museum is very clean, well organized, and spacious. I can't wait to bring my daughter back in future years so she can enjoy even more aspects of the museum!

Admission is whatever you choose to donate. My teens participated in the arrowhead "dig" in the area around the teepee out front...they got to keep one of the arrowheads they "discovered" and then purchased the rest with some mad cash from their grandma! You need about 2-3 hours to make your way through the entire museum and get the gist, and a bit more than 3 hours if you want to listen about each numbered artifact with the provided sound wand. I'm so glad we stopped for the morning!

I could go with the "I remember when this was all farmland" but let's just say that this is the most cosmopolitan small city in the "Flyover States." Downtown Bentonville has pubs and bars and restaurants and retail shopping. This year, they have an ice skating rink with an actual Zamboni. There is public art and free modern parking decks and a world-class art museum (that's free to visit!). I learned that Bentonville is a mountain biking capital thanks to the investment of the Walton family to build trails throughout Northwest Arkansas. And tiny XNA that used to be Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport is now Northwest Arkansas NATIONAL Airport with regular commercial service to far away hubs including MSP and PHX and LGA and even FLL and MIA! The former US Highway 71 that was upgraded to Interstate 540 is now Interstate 49 and it connects I-40 with I-44 from Fort Smith to Joplin. Amazing! This evening, I had a chance to walk around the Bentonville Square which is all lit up for Christmas. What a great little city and well worth a visit!

This museum was on the small side, but had high ceilings. Everything was very well-displayed. Some in glass cases. My first ever gun was a Daisy BB gun. I thought I was top stuff too with it. There was an audio tour, but I didn't partake with my dog in tow and my daughters asking a thousand questions along the way. Lol.
