Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

What a great museum! The views from inside the museum are just as impressive as the works on display. The collection includes works that are hundreds of years old as well as works completed in the past year or two and everything in between. There’s sure to be something that appeals to everyone.

The collection includes works by notable artists Georgia O’Keefe, Mark Rothco, Diego Rivera and John Singer Sargent just to name a few. The architecture of the building is a work of art in and of itself

Blown away by this museum and the trails outside too! Amazing work and construction! World class art collection and super friendly staff too

pretty good museum. great works of art but the crystal bridge, or reason behind the name, wasn’t even that extravagant. I was surprised that there was a library on the 3rd floor - it was great to see so many books on art

We only went for a short visit but in the time we were there we really enjoyed it. We have lived in the area for 6 months and don't know why we didn't visit right when we moved down. The architecture is amazing along with the vast array of artwork. On top of all of that, it's free! Coming from Chicago, that's rare to find! Definitely recommend taking a day to check it out. We will definitely be back.

Mostly loved it. We were recommended Crystal Bridges for Valentine’s photos, and decided to explore the museum as a whole as well. As we toured we were stopped at one point and asked if her small balloon was a helium balloon because those aren’t allowed, we confirmed it wasn’t and continued on, and ended up stopped again about it, this time the rule was just balloons in general so I decided to just throw it away, of course my toddler was not having it and as I’m reasoning with her another person approached about the balloon that we are fine to just finish going through the museum and to just kind of hurry through. So my advice? Just don’t bring a balloon, even if it isn’t an actual floating one that will bounce around the artwork (and reasonable to ban) and no different than holding a purse or stuffed animal haha. Other than the somewhat entertaining balloon debacle it was decent and the mirror room was of course the kids favorite.

There are hardly any words to describe this beautiful place. The art, both inside and out, allows you to discover something new every time you visit. The trails are great for peaceful stroll and lead to downtown Bentonville. The culinary events do not disappoint and the kids play area is a must with the little ones. Love this place!

Very lovely museum! The home concepts outside the museum were very cool to look at. The museum is very huge and has a large collection of artwork from many different eras. Some of the exhibits are free which is amazing! Worth the trip if you enjoy art, history, or fun. Depending on the day you visit, parking can be a pain!

What a wonderful treat of a museum! Lovely grounds and sculpture gardens, fantastic staff, and...FREE! I hope I get the chance to visit it again and explore the sections we missed.

Really enjoyed this museum and hope to come back in the future. We went to the holiday light display and really enjoyed it. We visited the actual museum pretty late and had to rush. Next time we visit we’ll go during the day!

I've been to museums all around the world (Mexico, Belize and France) and this is my favorite one! A huge campus with many outdoor trails and installations, along with the more typical art galleries inside. This museum is full of wonderful surprises and beautiful areas and I'd highly recommend this experience for all ages.

I was initially disappointed that the museum didn't open until 11am until I realized that you can spend several hours on the trails outside of the building. Most of the trials are wheelchair accessible with elevators.

I spent half a day there and could easily return and spend another one and see all the exhibits that I missed. Better yet, it's FREE!
