Though it happens not very often, here I felt the gratitude to one of the richest families on the planet and specifically to Aice Walton. The Walton family made the legacy by creating the Walmart empire. However, here they have created somethin...
g to be remembered by with an awe feeling of art collection and archtecture. With $1.34 billion and all land of Ozark forest gifted for everyone, you will be amazed to get it all for free. Come over to stroll the garden among multimillion sculptures blended into the mountain forest landscape.

This museum has something for everyone in the family. Super nice building with a tasty restaurant area. The walking trails are amazing and they are building even more to this beautiful museum. Bentonville is lucky to have such a place 🙏

What an incredible museum! The architecture and layout are absolutely stunning, and the art collection is top-notch — such a cool mix of classic and modern pieces. We really enjoyed exploring the surrounding trails too; they’re beautiful and we...
ll-maintained, with great views of the museum and nature. I’d definitely recommend visiting on a cooler day though, as there’s not a lot of shade on the paths. Overall, a must-see stop in Bentonville!

I don't want to write a book, but man, this place is prhmeonal. Between classic art, contemporary pieces, and modern sculpture... you do not want to miss this FREE museum if you're in the area.
There are some ticketed / paid seasonal parts we ...
didn't visit while we were there, but it was just boring sports stuff so kinda silly.
There's a sandwich shop and a mini bar, so you can take a boozy brunch break between wings! And that's the thing, there were MORE WINGS that weren't even open while we were there. It still took us about an hour and a half to walk the majority of what was available, including a little bit of the grounds.
You can get guided tours or self-tour, and there's a section to make art, too! Highly recommended for people and kids of all ages. The complex itself is a work of art - y'know, the crystal bridges themselves - so definitely make time for this place.
Only feedback is please make entry signage easier to see, you have to go downstairs several floors to access the museum 😂

Crystal Bridges was an incredible stop on my quick trip through the area. The Exquisite Creatures exhibit was absolutely incredible! The staff and facilities were so helpful and nice, I will 100% be back again. Even if you are just driving thro...
ugh - make the trip! It is well worth it!
There are paid and free exhibits. I did not buy tickets in advance. I went on a Friday afternoon before a big holiday weekend and had zero wait to park or to view the exhibits. There definitely seems to be something for all ages as well.

Truly a jewel in the crown that is Northwest Arkansas, one of the newest exhibits at Crystal Bridges Museum, Exquisite Creatures, is stunningly beautiful. In fact, I spent so much time in this area of the museum, it felt like I had far too litt...
le time for the balance of the museum. If you're like me and tend to shy away from the minutiae of insects that populate our environment this time of year, you will be both fascinated and delighted at just how beautiful they can be when captured by the artists' eyes. But Exquisite Creatures doesn't stop with insects. There are birds, shells, reptiles and more, all of it stunning.

Beautiful setting. Great place for people who love art. I loved the architecture and really appreciate that you don't have to buy tickets if you want to see the art only. Separate tickets exist for cocktail tours or drone shows. I wanted to see...
the drone show but had to leave early that day.
