Lee and I made the trip up to Bentonville to see the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art for our wedding anniversary. It was everything we expected and much more.
We loved the walking trails around the museum. There was covered parking to keep our car cool during our visit. The architecture of the museum buildings is amazing. The are was unbelievable. I spotted three Georgia O'Keefe's, a Lichtenstein, an Andy Warhol and much, much more. Our favorite was hands down Norman Rockwell's Rosie the Riveter. She was bigger than life-size. We had only seen her the size of Life magazine prior to our museum visit.
We spent several hours walking the trails and enjoying the art both inside and outside the museum. We lunched in the museum. The food was a bit pricey but absolutely delicious. The museum is fee so paying a little more for the food was not an issue.
Travelling exhibits do cost a little. While we were there the exhibit for The Hudson River School: Nature and the America Vision was just $5. Also, unbelievable for such a low cost.
We had a great time and plan to return and see more of the city and the surrounding area in the future. This was just a quick trip to see just the museum.
Here are some of my photos in and around the museum to whet your appetite to see the museum for yourself. And yes, you are allowed to photograph the art with flashes turned off.
