Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

Really a beautiful place to visit! The buildings housing all of the artwork and exhibits are almost breathtaking in themselves. Come visit for just an hour or spend the day. The museum property is spread over about 120 acres and has beautiful walking trails to see and explore a good portion of it. We will definitely be back when it's warmer with our children.nn(update) back a year later with my mom and our kids and they loved it. It's awesome to see that some of the exhibits change so it's a different experience every time. There is some construction going on so we are excited to see what's next!

Glass domed tortoiseshell pod gallery spaces between corridors on top of waterways lends to a floating in nature experience which is a unique compliment between ecosystem appreciation/management and our human footprint. Waiter was very helpful and explained the specials and knew the menu well and offered suggestions. The forest is home to many deer who live a safe and peaceful life. Not only does it house art from over five centuries, the building itself was designed to fit within the landscape and not just on top. There are exhibits that you can pay $5 to get into. There is a coffee and snack area in case you get hungry. Great little cafe a step inside. Extensive gallery to tour as well as a children's area on the lower level with crafts and other fun things. The special exhibits are always worth it though, and they're reasonably priced. Even if art and museums aren't your typical thing, I highly recommend giving the place a try.

Crystal Bridges Museum is an absolute gem of northwest Arkansas. Each piece, exhibit, and event is carefully planned and placed. I highly recommend a membership to Crystal Bridges, but general admission is free to the public. Be sure to grab a bite at the restaurant and enjoy the views! I also walked the trails around the Museum and they were beautiful. Be sure to check out the special events during the year, especially summer. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

The museum is great and has many wonderful pieces. Visitors are doing a good job wearing masks while in the building. Their bathrooms are clean and facility is well kept. I knocked down a star because staff at the Night Forest exhibit seemed mostly unaware how to direct people and seemed slightly annoyed when asked questions. I would recommend the Night Forest exhibit. This was a great date spot. The trails are accessible. We went after 9 and it was mostly cleared out of families and had an adult vibe. Pro tip: bring a blanket and sit under the globe on the wooden benches. It's very relaxing and comfortable.

This is pertaining to both the museum and the north lights show. The museum had art that was so breathtaking and displayed very well, nice directional arrows to keep the social distancing flowing nicely. The architecture of the whole building is amazing in itself as well as the trails and art outside. The North Lights was really visually appealing and the music was gorgeous wish they sold it on a cd. Not sure why anyone would complain because the time it took to put together probably took a while and was beautifully done so.
