Actually made a road trip just to come back to this amazing museum. Opened in 2011, following an…read more$800 million endowment from the Walton (Walmart) Family this American art museum is truly world class with representations from every major art name in America (Stuart - Washington Painting, Chihuly glass, Frank Lloyd Wright house, etc). Designed by famed architect Moshe Safdie (anyone remember the sky park buildings used as the backdrop in the film crazy rich Asians in Singapore? same architect.). The building blends naturally into the hillsides that were the wooded areas the Walton children played in growing up. I can't say enough about this fabulous museum. Constantly in change, and a new addition that will double exhibit space opening this summer admission is free, as are guided tours that cover architect, art, and everything in between. This is an absolute must see/must stop for everyone.

(There is a cost for special temporary exhibits should you be inclined to visit that section of the museum.) Works of art by Norman Rockwell (Rosie the Riveter), Grandma Moses, Gilbert Stuart's George Washington's portrait once owned by Alexander Hamilton and even an early drawing by Andy Warhol that sold originally for $35 provide a cornucopia of Americana history and lifestyles. The museum is spread out nicely and it is easy to move around. Public and Group tours are also available. There are also several trails for you to wander the grounds and see various sculptures and other works of art. Tree-shaded areas make it a nice journey even on a warm day. Parking close to the museum usually gets full by noon, but there is a structured multi-level parking lot closer to the entrance and the walk is easy to Crystal Bridges. This is also a shuttle that comes by every 10-15 minutes to take you to the entrance. NOTE: if you park in the structured lot, the first museum you will see is the Scott Family Amazeum. This is the children's museum and there is an entrance fee for this museum. Crystal Bridges is just a short distance away. The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art also has a restaurant, a coffee bar. a museum store and a library. It truly is an outstanding museum of American art and is worth your time to pay it a visit.

Of course, it's not a complete visit without a coffee from Onyx. Pro-tip - ask for a clay mug. So fun!

It's a tad more lively and the view and lights are especially nice.

Let me tell you, this hotel is located in the absolutely perfect spot if you are there for the nightlife. It is right in the heart of downtown Bentonville. And to our surprise, the farmers market that spans for blocks, every Saturday 7a-1p, is literally right outside the front doors. Okay, lets get down to it. Beautiful hotel with fun and artistic decor. Beautiful, clean, large rooms with all the amenities; even robes and a Nespresso maker. More than most hotels. Nicest staff on earth, even the cleaning crew was delightful. I truly felt like a guest of honor at this hotel. It also has the cutest restaurant and bar inside. They restraurant offers room service too! You just can't go wrong with this hotel. Look it up before you go, they have some great Tik Tok reviews. 10/10 across the board!!!!

Through the technology of LED bulbs and computer software that Villareal designs, the artist creates ever-changing displays of moving light and color.

The two workers behind the counter were masked, which I appreciate during the pandemic.
