Experience art at Crystal Bridges

Bentonville is where Walmart began, and it still serves as corporate headquarters. As a result of the presence of subsidiary employees from all over the world, this little hamlet in the hills is amazingly rich and neat, as well as fairly diversified.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is an American art museum located in Bentonville, Arkansas. The museum, created by Alice Walton and designed by Moshe Safdie, opened its doors on November 11, 2011. It is open to the public for free. The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is awe-inspiring, with a collection that rivals that of cities five times Bentonville's size. The museum is designed with a succession of gallery rooms connected by soaring bridges, providing the illusion of floating islands of creation in the heart of the Ozarks.

Crystal Brights displays a permanent collection of masterworks of American art from the colonial era to the present, as well as visiting collections from national art institutions. Masterpieces in the collection include paintings of George Washington by Charles Wilson Peale and Gilbert Stuart, Asher Brown Durand's Kindred Spirits, and Norman Rockwell's Rosie the Riveter. The schedule of temporary exhibitions supplements the permanent collection. In 2015, the museum acquired Frank Lloyd Wright's Bachman-Wilson House, which had been dismantled in New Jersey and restored on the grounds in Bentonville. Visitors are transported by solar-powered shuttles.
