Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

Fantastic museum. Don’t miss the grounds. We did the intro tour with Terry as our guide. He was excellent, gave great context for the works he presented. Wide range of art creatively displayed in an a facility that is a work of art itself. Lunch at Eleven was very good, vegetarian selections available. Highly recommend the whole experience.

I really enjoyed my visit. The shop has unique items for sale for all ages. Many different art mediums to enjoy. My favorite was the infinity room with light orbs.

This is a really unique place. Plan on doing lots of walking because it's mainly trails with cool statues, wonders of nature etc. Would be prettier when all of the flowers and trees start blooming.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art at Bentonville is one of best Art museums
The oil painting and several other paints are magnificent. Always have wide varieties
Huge parking place. Food court is good
Ensure visiting after afternoon hours to have a clear view of paints and less crowded
One of best place to visit in weekend

We love visiting the museum and walking the trails. It's a new adventure every time. They are always adding new things and changing things so each time you go is a new experience. The out door trails are absolutely beautiful. Although it does get busy on the weekends it's still a very enjoyable experience! The infinity room is my favorite with all of the color changing lights you feel like your traveling in space!

A robust collection, uniquely arranged. The initial rooms were a mix of time periods, genres, and mediums. The campus itself was also an architectural treat.

And the most commendable part of the experience was that it was free! The fact that it was open and accessible to all was very refreshing.

I’ve included some photos of my favorite works.

Different experience every visit! Beautiful scenery, an architect’s dream, & a great place for quality time with family, friends, your significant other, or even just you! There are great food options, a decent sized gift shop, clean bathrooms, and elevators and wheelchair accessible walkways everywhere!

This is one of the most unique places I have ever visited. It's a museum set in the woods. The property on which it sits is striped with challenging bike trails and pedestrian ways which lead to multiple interest points. The main pavilion is modern and holds many famous works of art.
I strongly recommend renting a bike in Bentonville and touring around if you are visiting.

This museum was such a pleasant surprise. First, I did not expect parking and admission to be free. The special exhibit and the Frank Lloyd Wright House required a purchased ticket, but there is plenty to see if you don't go to those. The collection of America art is very diverse and interesting, with works from the early 19th century to the present. The infinity mirror room is fun. The trails are beautiful and also include works of art along the way. The restaurant has beautiful views. Don't miss this museum!!

Excellent art displays in creative collections. The unique sculptures place throughout (like a vintage oversized dandelion from a hotel) add unique touch. There is a sense of exploration that you never know what you'll discover around the next corner. There is art and nature everywhere.

The art trails are amazing also while the Frank Lloyd Wright house on the premises is an added bonus.

Don't miss the outdoor pieces - we especially loved the Narcissus Garden by Yayoi Kusama. The museum itself is a marvel of architectural engineering, and it was fun to read about how it was constructed. Highly recommend visiting if you are near or in the area!

I can NOT believe this is FREE!!! So many things to look at indoors and outdoors. You could easily take your time and be here all day! It is worth the drive. I drove 2 hours away...definitely worth it!
