It is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique experience. The museum’s stunning architecture, nestled within beautiful natural surroundings, creates an inspiring atmosphere. The art collection is impressive, showcasing everything from colonial to contemporary pieces, and the temporary exhibits are always thought-provoking.
I especially loved the outdoor trails and sculptures, which make the experience even more special. Walking through the woods and coming across art installations was a peaceful and unexpected joy.
The fact that admission is free is a wonderful bonus, making world-class art accessible to everyone. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing, cultural day out, blending art, nature, and tranquility.
Highly recommended!
I'm so impressed with this museum and so proud we have such an amazing space here in the natural state. I recommend you do the site tour (free) to get a feel for the space as well as a behind the scenes on the architecture. Plan to stay ALL DAY and wear comfortable shoes and attire. There is so much to see and beautiful trails to explore. The admission to the permanent exhibits and trails are free as is the Frank Lloyd Wright house tour (self guided). There is a major expansion going on which will nearly double the space. I can't wait to come back again!
This is a wonderful museum. We had my daughter's wedding rehearsal lunch at Eleven and came back to take wedding photos. They have wonderful art gallery and interesting exhibits. We also loved the tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright house.
absolutely beautiful!
it was our first time visiting, came for the art market they did this year(which was so cute and well put together) but also walked around the inside. the frank lloyd house walk through tickets are free you just have to schedule a time, being that it was a busier day they where quite booked but the man and women at the south hall where so helpful in letting us know good “off days” to come back. over all a beautiful building, museum, and experience. can’t wait to continue to explore the grounds and exhibits!
There is so much to say about Crystal Bridges, but I'll sort with the fact that there is no entrance fee...that is exceptional, and the art is fantastic. Really I'm here to review the wedding/event side of the Museum. In terms of weddings Crystal Bridge is utterly fantastic. The event spaces are excellent, the scenery is gorgeous, and the architecture is magnificent. I'll just drop some photos here to emphasize the review, but you owe to yourself as a couple to tour Crystal Bridges before making a decision on venues for your wedding.
Visited Labor Day weekend and glad I arrived early. By time I left mid afternoon it was crowded and busy. On-point art sale was a plus and I purchased a very nice vase. The house tour you can skip as so much is roped off and many updates were after it was relocated. Had I known before purchasing my ticket, I would not have. A variety of art from many venues and the climate was nice. There is an art room for kids,too. Visit the Promenade, also!
A fabulous free museum that the people of Bentonville are lucky to experience in their community. The art collection is wonderful. The architecture of the museum is exceptional (thank you, Nancy, for our architecture tour). The grounds and landscapes: breathtaking. The restaurant "11" served delicious food and was a nice break from the artwork.
I read the one-star reviews with skepticism. Those who have problems reading the truth about our country's history need to get their head out of the sand.
This is one of our favorite places to enjoy. There is a great collection of beautiful artwork and special exhibits several times a year that are phenomenal. The staff were very good to the students that were there for field trips too!
