I was super duper excited to have the opportunity to visit Crystal Bridges. Crystal Bridges is an art museum in Arkansas dedicated to American Art. There was tons of great stuff to see — including the building! It's a beautiful space. Take a stroll through the museum with me:
I couldn't resist the chance to make some art of my own! And Myriah couldn't resist the puppet theatre!
So much interesting art to see and the museum is completely 100% free admission! If you're ever in Bentonville, Arkansas I highly recommend spending an afternoon at Crystal Bridges!
Hope you enjoyed this trip to the museum!
Thanks for stopping by!

Am also continually inspired by your tutorials, journals, et al. Thank you!

So glad you were able to enjoy some fabulous art in my “neck of the woods.” I wonder if you were teaching a class around here somewhere…if so, I’m sorry I missed it. Y’all come back, now, ya hear?

Wish I had known you were going to Crystal Bridges as I live a 1/2 hour away and have been enjoying and inspired by your art for years. Would have loved to visit with you there. So glad you enjoyed this wonderful museum we have in this area.

I’ve lived in Arkansas my whole life and I’ve never been to this museum. Never even knew it was there. Probably because I live 6 to 7 hours southeast of it. Thanks for sharing your pics.
Plus I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WERE IN ARKANSAS!! Hope you enjoyed your visit.

Patricia Tencats, I’m sure the highly realistic figure you mention is the fiberglass and polychrome work of Duane Hanson. His sculptures are incredible in person!

Your photo journal/visual tour of the Crystal Bridges Art Museum (among others) is a rare opportunity for many of us who don’t have the same level of exposure to places like this that inspire and motivate us. Bentonville, AK and this amazing museum will be a destination next time we’re on a multiday road trip. You are a treasure. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
