A beautiful museum inside and out. The selection of American art ranges from colonial to pop art. If you're an outdoors type, on warm days the trails are wonderful. There's artwork outside as well.

Worth a trip to nw Arkansas. Beautiful priceless modern art inside and out on the walking trails. Leave time for the 50’ dome and the outdoor sculpture on all the connected hiking trails.

Great food and art. Huge park and recreation area next door. Fine dining with a huge wine list. Great ambiance, whether it's dinner with friends, for business or date night you can't go wrong.

One of the coolest art museums I have ever been to. The buildings just blend effortlessly into the landscape. The views from inside the gallery are gorgeous and offer views of the lush woods.

One of the best art museums I’ve been to in the world. Worth a trip to NW Arkansas from NYC just to spend more time here!

I love all the trails around the museum! I walk them early morning on Saturday and Sunday's pretty early by myself and always feel safe and get a great workout! Bikers can be a little crazy though!!

If you do one thing in Bentonville, you should visit Crystal Bridges. Amazing American art museum, including a Frank Lloyd Wright house....recommend going around dusk if possible.

Gorgeous architecture and a stupendously beautiful collection of American art. Great restaurant and coffee bar too! A+ must visit.
Luke JonesSeptember 20, 2015
The Crystal Bridges Museum always impresses my family with the featured artwork and with the inspirational architecture of the museum. I am always delighted by the tasteful artwork on display.
Josh WoodJuly 3, 2016
Worth going to for architecture alone. And it's free.
Taryn SutherlandMay 20, 2016
An oasis of amazing art that will leave you saying, "Where am I?" Check out the casual Jeff Koons one-and-a-half ton metallic heart in the restaurant area.
Joshua KerrOctober 27, 2014
Unbelievsble that we have this in Arkansas and it's free! Felt like I was in a different place. The art is ridiculously fun!
Dave TracewellAugust 13, 2017
My wife and I liked so much we became Members of the Museum. The best way for me to describe Crystal Bridges is to tell you to visit their website at www.crystalbridges.org. Wonderful place - wow!
Ryan PhillipsMarch 27, 2020
My family enjoys the new exhibits that come to Crystal Bridges now and then, as it always gives us something new to go and see.
Jeff RobertsJune 23, 2017
Tell everyone your know: It's totally worth a trip to NE Arkansas. There is beautiful art for sure, but the real art is the buildings and campus. Fall and Spring are delightful.

Great exhibits and great way to spend a rainy afternoon! Beautiful location and architecture!
Lauren SawyerSeptember 19, 2016
This place is so amazing and it was awesome to here Judy Chicago speak and see the frank Lloyd Wright house
Ed EubanksOctober 12, 2015
This place is fantastic. The wall full of Hudson River School paintings is a highlight, and the photo-realistic paintings and sculpture are amazing.

If you plan on downloading the CBMuseum app to follow along as you go, make sure you download the sections of info within the app beforehand while your phone still has reception! You lose it inside!

Unexpectedly broad collection of (mostly) American art. Wel worth the time.
JaredAugust 30, 2014
Admission is free, so treat yourself to the chicken and waffles at Eleven. De. Licious!
Ann S. ChirhartFebruary 23, 2014
One of the best collections of American Art in the world. Beautiful museum. Beware of directions from car navigators!
Kaz JanikJuly 2, 2015
The art is awesome and tells the story of American history, it also shows the politics and economics of the U.S.
Jay D479February 23, 2012
Visit the restaurant Eleven inside for coffee or a great meal. It's named for the day the museum opened 11/11

Bring your loved ones...it’s incredible fun! Beauty and leaning everywhere!

Take time to enjoy museum and the outside trails. One of the greatest masterpieces is mother natures handiwork!
Ian O'SabenMay 27, 2013
The collection is parallel to that of the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art but, the experience through the architecture is amazing.
Lauren BassApril 29, 2016
The 19th and 20th century art is phenomenal, and the coffee is delicious!

Wondeful museum with rotating exhibits. The trails are also beautiful!

Do the walking sculpture garden. The bridge is a fun place to go "off road" with kids
Nick Den HerderJune 11, 2013
If your not into art they have excellent walking, biking, and hiking trails.

Solid collection, but the gallery buildings are the real stars.

If you don't have an iPhone (like me) you are able to rent one from the main lobby. I learned this on the way out, lol.

Just park in the first parking lot... Unless you need to drop someone off otherwise you spend time waiting to get back up to the other parking section
