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 .

Jon Pressman

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 .

SooFab

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.

Michael Morgan

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.

Charles Knoles

Gorgeous architecture and a stupendously beautiful collection of American art . Great restaurant and coffee bar too! A+ must visit.

Luke Jones

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 Wood

Worth going to for architecture alone. And it's free.

Joshua Kerr

Unbelievsble that we have this in Arkansas and it's free! Felt like I was in a different place. The art is ridiculously fun!

Taryn Sutherland

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.

Dave Tracewell

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 Phillips

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 Roberts

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.

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.

Admission is free, so treat yourself to the chicken and waffles at Eleven. De. Licious!

Ann S. Chirhart

One of the best collections of American Art in the world. Beautiful museum . Beware of directions from car navigators!

Visit the restaurant Eleven inside for coffee or a great meal. It's named for the day the museum opened 11/11

The art is awesome and tells the story of American history, it also shows the politics and economics of the U.S.

The collection is parallel to that of the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art but, the experience through the architecture is amazing.

Take time to enjoy museum and the outside trails . One of the greatest masterpieces is mother natures handiwork!

The 19th and 20th century art is phenomenal, and the coffee is delicious!
