Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

The museum is beautiful and the only reason I didn't rate it a 5 is due to the challenge of finding a parking space and bc I didnt actually enter the museum, so I can't review what I haven't experienced. I saw the outdoor flower (art work, not natural flowers) exhibit by the Asian artist (I think Japanese), Oct. 2025. I highly recommend it and will go back since I am from and live in Little Rock, AR, and it's only about three hours away.

An unforgettable experience! The Time Loop at Crystal Bridges was absolutely magical. We walked through a stunning path at night surrounded by lights, sound, and art perfectly blended together. Every turn revealed something new — glowing trees, mesmerizing projections, and immersive art that made it feel like stepping into another world. It was peaceful, inspiring, and full of wonder. If you get the chance to go, don’t miss it — it’s a must-see experience that captures the creativity and beauty Crystal Bridges is known for!

Crystal Bridges Museum is an absolute gem, both for the art and the experience! The galleries are stunning and thoughtfully curated, with a perfect mix of classic and contemporary pieces. But beyond the exhibits, the entire visit was just smooth and enjoyable. Parking was incredibly easy, plenty of space and just a short walk to the entrance, which is a big win when you’re visiting with a kid. Speaking of which, we stopped by the on-site restaurant and I was genuinely impressed. I had a hamburger that hit the spot, juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. My kid devoured the chicken fingers, and I may or may not have stolen a few bites. They were crispy and delicious, perfect for little hands. Overall, it’s a place where you can enjoy world class art, good food, and a family-friendly environment without any stress. Highly recommend!

Amazing, beautiful, interesting, provocative, unique, FREE! This place lives up to hype and is a MUST in B'Ville! Absolutely worth a vist and few hours! Fantastic for ALL ages and interests. The Frank Lloyd Wright house is monumental find and addition to and an already INCREDIBLE MUSEUM! Also, the outdoor, walking Trail/Art Installation is pretty accessible for folks and so nicely done. Next time we visit, I want to do the Night Walk when the light up the trail, likely making it more fabulous. Oh, and there are REAL Crystals on the trail..no kidding!

Incredible museum and grounds that has plenty to see and do. With exhibitions that are on rotation there is always something new and interesting on display. There is a cafe and wine bar for food and drink and ample outdoor spaces to enjoy the beautiful Arkansas scenery. If you are in the area it is well worth the stop.

Many beautiful pieces. Free entry ... a gift to the community. Thank you. Had to circle round three times for parking. Need more signs and parking for high profile vehicles not fitting in low parking structure. No signage to restrooms. Back-tracked through collection and went upstairs to receive snarky instructions to restrooms back downstairs. Other guests were equally frustrated. Very busy with appreciative guests.

Such an amazing experience that you have here! The art and sculptures on display are super interesting and unique. This is truly an experience like no other! Fun for all ages. Loved the outdoor walking trails. Not too busy either for a Saturday!

We visited Crystal Bridges Art Museum and I honestly thought it was going to be a small place…wow, was I wrong! This place is absolutely amazing. The architecture alone is stunning, and the mix of modern and contemporary art, plus the outdoor sculptures and walking trails, really blew me away. To truly take it all in, you’d need at least two full days. It’s that big and impressive. There’s also a restaurant onsite that looked fantastic, we ate downtown but wished we had eaten there instead. With free admission and parking, it’s a must-visit spot and perfect for all ages!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time exploring the trails and exhibits at this museum. I actually didn't go inside because we had our dog with us, but my family went in and checked out some of the many things the museum has to offer. My pup and I walked the trails and took in the natural beauty along with the art that is scattered throughout the massive property. Many people had dogs, bikes, or strollers, so there are all different ways to explore the trails.

Arkansas is not exactly the first place I think of when I think of fine art. We had a rainy day in Bentonville with no plans, so we stopped by the Crystal Bridges Museum. The campus is quite nice - I like how it's tucked away amongst all of the trees. The Walmart family has done an excellent job of curating some truly unique pieces of art by world-renowned artists. I can't remember what was on loan vs. what was part of the permanent collection, but I do remember being very surprised at some of the big names found here. These are pieces from artists that you would find at some really famous museums. It's not a huge museum, so you can definitely see everything in a few hours - maybe an afternoon if you really take your time and stretch it. The museum was free, which was nice. Parking was free, which was also nice. I do wish it wasn't raining during our visit - we got to see some of the cool sculptures outside while there was a break in the rain, but I'm sure there was more that we missed. We had heard that the are some nice walking trails on the grounds, which I wish we would have been able to explore more. There was a little cafe, which we did not stop for, and a cute little gift shop from where I purchased a few postcards. If you're coming to Bentonville for the biking and need a break, or you have a few hours you're looking to fill, this is a great option.

Consistently beautiful, organized and informative. This museum is one of our favorites. Enjoyed the knowing the west exhibit. Will return.

Absolutely beautiful. Plentiful parking, easily accessible shuttle service, free admission, beautiful architecture, and interesting exhibits. I loved that they have a children's craft room that's open the same hours of the museum. The Yayoi Kusama exhibit was one I've been wanting to see for myself since college and I was blown away. They're expanding the museum, so be sure to come in 2026 when it is complete. Can't wait to revisit.

Crystal Bridges is a lovely escape in the other wise suburban town of Bentonville. When I went, I was able to go to most of the exhibits even though it was close to closing time. My favorite exhibit was the lantern exhibit which had multiple large colorful lanterns in a dark room. My second favorite was a wall of notes with gratitude. The entire museum was very spacious with tons of light and glass that allows you to see the outdoor pond. It was definitely a fun experience.

Truly a diamond in Arkansas. A joy to visit every time. We didn't have any intention to visit during this time to the NWA, but it's hard to skip when in Bentonville. I'm so glad to not have missed it again. I'm always impressed with the works and the different exhibitions. Now although the works aren't always different, the museum's presentation and mixing with temporary borrowed works gives it a new look and a fresh perspective. After snacking near the plaza we walked through the Compton Gardens and entered through the museum's southern entrance. We enjoyed a variety of the latest exhibitions from Space Makers, Exquisite Creatures, Think Pink!, and Vantage Point. Even Jewel had hosted an exhibition - Portals. Part of the Portals exhibit was a 9 p.m. drone show on the grounds on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday nights. I really enjoyed the visit, and am super surprised at some of the works and artists that can be seen at Crystal Bridges. Not only inside, but it has really nice permanent pieces on the trail north to the museum. Every lounge has super comfortable loungers in a lot of the big salons so that you can relax and enjoy the works. Also, plenty of the works have interactive labels and explanations for the works. I really enjoy this place. It has a small cafe where you can enjoy how the architecture melds in with the scenery. I also noticed that the museum is expanding to the north. The family also enjoyed working crafts in the lab that was following the Exquisite Creatures theme. Awesome.

What a wonderful art museum! The building nestled in the trees and hills is just as beautiful as the art within. There is a walking and biking trail that you can take from downtown Bentonville to the museum but there is plenty of parking at the museum if you want to save your steps for looking at art. The museum has free admission to the general exhibit and Frank Lloyd Wright house which does have a timed entry. There is a nominal fee for any special exhibits. The art walk on the grounds of the museum are a must-see as well. You can definitely make a day of it at Crystal Bridges and enjoy every minute!

All the stars for this architectural treasure & art repository in the northwest Arkansas woods! If museums are your thing, then make a point to visit this one. The architecture is stunning in its own way. Between the sustainability, weaving materials from Arkansas into the design and finish, or the overall lines, it is simply one of a kind. The museum sits in a ravine and its lines nestle naturally into the landscape instead of an obtrusive building that would seem out of place. Arkansas pine makes up many of the structural timbers that arc overhead proving that one doesn't have to go far to source phenomenal material. The art is laid out much the same way of other galleries, that is to say that modern begets modern and so on. Find the Chihuly glass overhead or outside, pieces from Georgia O'Keeffe, Norman Rockwell, or Roy Lichtenstein, or even mesmerizing immersive art experiences. There is a Yoko Ono piece 'My Mommy is Beautiful' that allows for anyone to contribute to make living art. Also on temporary exhibit was a collection by Jewel, yes, that Jewel, including a powerful piece called 'Chill'. It's a lucite figure in a lotus pose with dozens of capsule/pills throughout, representing perhaps better living through chemistry? If you get the chance, then go check it out. But I highly recommend taking the minute or so to walk through Yayoi Kusama's 'Infinity Mirrored Room', part of the permanent collection at Crystal Bridges. It's worth the wait and immerses you in a sea of light and color, almost surreal and carnival-esque at once. There can be a wait but it's certainly worth it. The museum is free, with donations encouraged but not mandatory. There is comfort throughout and this is a fairly kid-friendly museum as you can be both inside and outside. Should you make a day of it, Eleven offers up some nice food or you can grab coffee near that same area. Parking is free and there is even a shuttle that will ferry you to and from the front doors to a separate parking area. Walton money has definitely done good here. Wonderful place!

A world class museum, Crystal Bridges is an incredible gift from Alice Walton. Admission is free. In addition to a vast selection of art work, the museum is an architectural masterpiece in itself. Some works are commissioned by the museum, such as Maya Lin's Upper White River. The museum currently has a special light show set in its North Forest called Time Loop. Timed tickets must be purchased. Go after dark to enjoy the full effects of the show.

Fantastic art museum and all for free. We spent almost as much time outside as inside exploring the grounds and the art. (Don't miss the display of Arkansas quartz along one of the paths it is stunning). We really loved the self-guided tour of the FLW house (get timed tickets when you first arrive). We toured through the inside exhibits and found some of the presentations refreshing since in some cases they mixed different generations of art by certain themes. The building itself is super interesting. I can only imagine what it will be like when the new addition is done in the next couple of years. This community is lucky to have such a gem.

We built our whole vacation to Bentonville around our visit to the Crystal Bridges Museum and it did not disappoint. We woke up early on Saturday morning and walked the trails surrounding the museum beginning at around 8:30am. There were other people walking and biking on the trails but it was still pretty peaceful. The art on the trails was absolutely incredible and an impressive amuse bouche to the art in the museum. My favorite pieces were Kusama Narcissus Garden and the Bourgeois Mother of Spiders, but there was something for everyone. After completing the trails we lined up to get into the museum right at 10am. There was a good group in the morning but it was significantly more crowded that afternoon after lunch. I definitely would recommend getting there early and beating the crowds. The museum was expansive and laid out in a very thoughtful way to be able to easily walk through and not miss anything. The art collection was beautifully curated and I am so happy that we made the trip to see this remarkable museum.

Went to see The Portal drone show. Everyone should definitely go once, especially if you've never seen a drone show. Kinda disappointed that the show ended so fast (~15-20min) + Quite expensive for the family given the length of the show ($25 non members).

Absolutely amazing exhibition @crystalbridgesmuseum All of the creatures were humanely acquired to show the beauty of nature in mind-blowingly creative and painstakingly ornate schematics. All of this is in Bentonville, Arkansas and free thanks to the community partnership with @walmart This is just a fraction of the cool displays created and displayed by @christophermarleystudio

Beautiful facility. Supported by so many in industry in the northwest Arkansas area. Was there for a large corporate function but understand Walmart has not only helped enable the development but provides ongoing sponsorship so no one ever pays an admission fee. Nice variety of different types of art in a really pretty setting.

What an amazing treat for Arkansas! This place is amazing! They brought a Frank Lloyd Wright house in and put it up on site. Who does that? A great museum, that is who! I'm not sure there are any better galleries in the Midwest. The Nelson in Kansas City is probably their only competition Otherwise you have to go to New York to see this kind of quality art on display. My wife has been wanting to go here for years, and now I see why. I am so glad we made it! If you get a chance to go to Crystal Bridges do not pass it up.

Wow! I'm here visiting my kid and his am so impressed with this museum. I've been to museums all over the world and this one is up there for sure! Amazing. Food and coffee shop is great too!

The museum and the surrounding land and compound is gorgeous and so well thought out. They have some special exhibits for a fee but everything else is free for the community at large and such a pleasure to experience. The museum itself is bright and modern with amazing architecture as art itself. There are walking trails along the museum with art interspersed throughout. The surrounding land has hiking trails and lots of bike trails. You can book a tour of the Usonian Frank Lloyd Wright House (also free) ahead of time online or grab tickets at the museum. Crystal Bridges is a great way to spend a day or two as you can take it easy and look at art or you can go for a joy ride on their many bike trails. There were a lot of families and large groups on the road, but it never felted crowded.

Truly one of the nicest museums I have been to. There is such a nice mix of art, interesting installations, and it is so well maintained and lit with natural light. What a wonderful addition to bentonville and great to spend a couple hours in for an afternoon.

A jewel for NWA. Lovely space indoors, outdoors and the building. Free parking free entry except for special displays. They have a studio for people to make their own art for free as well. Primarily for kids but my friend sat in there for over a hour making art. If I lived in the area I would be here monthly. Highly recommend. Note that you do need a ticket for Frank Lloyd Wright house but they are free. They only limit the number of people can be in the house at the same time. Personally, I would skip the current special show by Annie Leibovitz. It didn't think it was that impressive and it did cost around $13.

So much to see at this amazing compound. Building in progress you know this is going to be fantastic when everything is complete. I was prepared to pay an entry fee and for it to be free and available to all is a fantastic value for this community. We loved the outdoor gardens, the Frank Lloyd Wright house and the wonderful exhibits. Parking on the lower level gets you closer to the entrance though we parked up top. Would highly recommend!

Was traveling through on a very important business trip. Saw some American Pickers camera crew filming a sign with bird crap on it. The ball room was cool although they only allow one minute. Pinocchio was creepy as hell. The drawing room was cool. Parking was weird as I drove myself in a 15 passenger bus. The place didn't make much sense and everyone looked like an art professor. Neat architecture. I left feeling a bit overwhelmed and flabbergasted.

Amazing - looking forward to my next visit - Grounds are meticulously maintained and have great sculptures

Such a cool stop in Bentonville! I'm not a huge museum person but this was definitely worth checking out and how incredible that it's FREE to the public! The museum is beautiful in and of itself, and features multiple galleries of different time periods, styles, and themes. I especially enjoyed the interactive mirrored exhibit with the colored balls. There are also outdoor sculpture installations as well. This was a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

So blessed to have this awesome place in NWA along with the Compton gardens. Great art classes for kids!

Lots of construction and construction cranes now (summer 2024) so not a lot to see or access & even the water it sits on is subsequently murky. It will be spectacular but I would not recommend going until it is completed.

Fantastic museum with outstanding collection. Well organized and presented. I live in Memphis, about 5 hours away but typically make it to Crystal Bridges a couple times a year. That being said, the Annie Leibovitz at Work exhibit was the most disappointing I have seen at any major art museum I have visited. Leibovitz's photographs are excellent but this exhibit was disorganized and chaotic. I had such difficulty following it that I ultimately just left. The photographs weren't marked but visitors were given a brochure that provided no background to the photographs nor any help identifying what you were seeing. Previous special exhibits such as Diego Rivera have been world class. Please take time to visit Crystal Bridges but i would not waste time on Leibovitz.

All of our friends recommended that we visit the Crystal Bridges Museum. Since it was a rainy day we decided to pay a visit and the admission is free. They have an outdoor and indoor exhibit! The outdoor area is definitely more child friendly and more fun for children to enjoy in general. This is an art museum but my younger children definitely felt bored having to walk through each exhibit. But I was quite impressed with all the art and sculpture that was on display given that the admission is for free. There are still some rooms under construction and changes but I had a great time. My kids not so much! Just FYI you will see many staff everywhere who will yell at you to be careful and not get to close to things especially when you walk around with children. Don't blame them as we just saw a teen getting into an display of cymbals and that kid actually hit them like a drum set! I guess the rules how to walk through an art museum was not explained to him well. Anyways! A wonderful place to visit for art lovers and adults. If you come with children the outdoor exhibit is definitely worth checking out!

Just reviewed a poor quinoa kale salad. Their soup is always good. The Happy Hour drink special is thrifty and the fried pickles are better than expected. Recommend the flatbread.

Made me think of my past and all of our pasts. I was first excited of the free price tag. Parking was difficult. Place was PACKED and had lots of people too. I am art expert, and while this place has a lot of razzle dazzle, I quickly realized it was just a museum. Nothing more, nothing less. I liked the "JOHNNY" portrait. There were lots of cool statues. There was an awesome climbing course on one of the walls. I drew pictures and was proud of my work at first but they did not hold up on closer inspection. The infinity mirror room made me question my existence. I almost started crying. I hope no one was watching me. One employee scared me with his bald looks and ostrich-like mannerisms. The Jewel experience made me tingle with excitement, but upon further inspection she wasn't actually there. Lots children and other people (we were there on a Sunday) would not taking young ones here. There was nudity. In the art. Good stuff! I felt like I was at Jurassic World.

Highly recommended. An inspirational place to visit if you're in Bentonville Arkansas. The few pictures below give a sample of what you can see. The food is very good. Go and enjoy!

The museum and the grounds are just wonderful. There is even a Frank Lloyd Wright house you can tour (tickets are free but you need them to enter as they limit number of people at one time) Walking trails outside, so much to see inside. Free but special exhibits have a fee. If you like museums, worth a visit.

I love visiting the Crystal Bridges art museum in Bentonville, Arkansas, again and again. It is truly a world-class museum! The architecture is so unique and incredible! I love their gift shop. The restaurant is stunning! I love their happy hour, where you can enjoy live music, great wine and appetizers. We enjoyed a nice charcuterie board and a big yummy scone. I love touring the entire museum every time I visit Bentonville. This is truly a very special gem, not to be missed! Its only 2 hours from Tulsa & only 3.5 hours from Oklahoma City. Plus bentonville has several very good restaurants to enjoy if you spend a few days there, like Tavola, Tusk & Trotter, Hive, and Eleven in the museum. Take a weekend vacation to Bentonville; you will love it!

Simply amazing!! Our group of 10, ages 7-52 all found something they loved here! The collections are amazing, the layout of the space is gorgeous and they are expanding, the maker space for the young or young at heart was super fun, the cafeteria had something for everybody (including vegans, gluten free, and meatavores), and the coffee shop had delicious coffee to fuel us mid way through. We could easily have spent all day here, and not just the 4-5 hours we did.

This museum is beautiful both inside and out. I always take my out-of-town guests here to show them the charm of Bentonville, Arkansas. Each one of them has been very impressed! You can spend hours here learning about a wide variety of art. I really enjoy that it has free parking and free admission. That is an added bonus. Each time that I go I learn something new or notice a different piece of art. They do a great job of making sure they rotate out their exhibits and that they bring in well-known artists into the museum. I am always excited to see new exhibits. While the art is impressive, I also enjoy walking around the trails, studying in the library, and enjoying the coffee stand. There is something for everyone here!

Do you like art museums?? Then you HAVE to stop in here. Beautiful modern architecture. Wonderful exhibits. Free parking and free admission. Special shows will cost you though. Found out my wife prefers modern art today. I liked several of the older paintings. But I have also always liked modern art. We had a wonderful time. So stop in and have some fun. The docents are very helpful and helpful. No stuffiness here.

What a great place! My boyfriend and I spent almost 3 hours walking around looking at all the exhibits. They have an extensive outdoor walking trails full of art and sculptures right in the middle of nature. Inside, the art gallery was full of life and exciting pieces! To top it off this place is 100% free. Will be back!

If I could give 10 stars I would. Before I had taken a road trip through Arkansas to visit friends in 2019, I wasnt quite sure what all existed out there, that would captivate my attention. There was so much! I was blown away by gorgeous expanses of nature. Drove through the Ozark mountains in a snow storm. Walked lakes and forests. Explored small towns. It was magical. Was there again in 2022, and took all recommendations seriously. Crystal Bridges was very high on the suggestion list. My interest was peaked. The Museum was founded by the Walton family. It encompasses multiple architecturally fascinating exhibition buildings surrounded by trees, hills, creeks and art. There are paid exhibitions, like the Fashioning America collection when I was there, but the vast majority of art and sculptures are free to see. There is a wonderful gift shop. A cafe and restaurant on one of the bridges over water. Theres a library on a higher floor with great views. Many events and activities are held inside. Then there are the exterior adventures!! The outdoor trails take you passed many interesting installments, some temporary and some permanent. There's a Frank Lloyd Wright house on the premise, and since Im slowly checking off all of his visitable houses, this was a marvelous bonus! Tickets are free but you need to reserve a spot. I also seek out Chihuly exibits of blown glass. He created the rainbow spheres on the lake and has other art at this museum. There was a famous pianist holding a concert that night at one of the glassed in rooms on the back lake. There was a hurricane band coming through that day so the museum had complimentary umbrellas to hand out. I graciously accepted one because I wasnt going to let a minor downpour with tornado warnings discourage me from walking the great outdoors. So much to do and not a moment of boredom. (Sometimes museums with only paintings make me zone out. Dont judge!) I hadnt had this much fun at a museum in a very long time so I give it ten thumbs up! If I lived close, Id absolutely be a member.

This is a really cool place. It is something you can spend 1-3 hours doing. What I really liked about it is that it is free. Most of their exhibits are free to enter and they even have a self guided audio tour. During our visit they have a special exhibit called "The Dirty South" that cost $12. I did not go into that exhibit but someone from my group did. She said the exhibit was amazing and it brought her to tears. They have a pretty cool coffee/snack area with a live DJ.

Love this museum. The architecture is incredible. I would recommend bringing your laptop, grabbing a cup of coffee at the cafe and work while enjoying the view.

Crystal bridges is beautiful. The art is incredible and unique. You could easily spend the whole day here if you love art, architecture, and/or nature.

Sublime museum of art, architecture, and, nature. Phenomenal collection of American Art, from John Taylor to Nari Ward. Glorious architecture designed by Moshe Safdie. Eloquent trails to walk, hike, run, bike, and, picnic upon. Planning already I am of my next visit. A different scene it'd be with the four seasons. Along with special exhibits, I see myself reserving the tickets and make the 5-1/2 drive here regularly. CHEERS!

An incredible museum with every detail thought through, in and out. The art, the architecture, the nature trails and the fact that it's free admission made this a major standout on a recent trip to Bentonville. We almost literally spent the whole day here and never got bored. We pulled up and took in the overall setting with unique glass structures, water, and a wonderful collection of trails. Inside, the art was wonderful and we loved the exhibition on nature. Even with a cranky kiddo tagging alongside, we were able to enjoy this because of the built in breaks; for instance, a kids art table room, an outdoor eating space to run around in, and trails to explore. The trails are so wonderful because they encourage cyclists (and Bentonville has a lot of them) to ride to the museum, and also include sculptures and art throughout. A popular favorite for my four year old was the "Way of Color" skyspace where she put on a concert or two for anyone who would listen. We even came back a second day to track down the gigantic deer sculpture and other Chihuly glass sculptures along one of the nature trails. Mission accomplished! Just a wonderful experience, extremely well-kept, friendly museum staff, and worth exploring for as long as you possibly can.

We walked from the Bentonville square to Crystal Bridges today. I highly recommend you do both. The walk from the square to get to Crystal Bridges is nearly as cool as Crystal Bridges itself. But Crystal Bridges is a sight to see. There is so much to do, both inside and out. You could spend an entire day here. So much of it is free and open to the public. There are events you can pay for in addition but even the free stuff is wonderful. Like the echo room in the lobby, all the art scattered about, they have a great cafe and wonderful views. The facility itself is an architectural landmark. The design is so unique. All of the outdoor sculptures and features are incredible. If you're going to be near Bentonville and not planning on doing this then you should just stay on the highway, seriously.

This is a uniquely designed museum with awesome modern architectural details and beautiful gardens. It's sizable, but not overwhelming. When I went there was a well done, diverse exhibit of black art and heritage in the south called "The Dirty South." There is also a good mix of early American and modern art. There is a cafe and a coffee shop. Entry is free, though special exhibits have a fairly small fee.

Worth the trip. I have been to many museums Chicago, Detroit, DC, London, etc. and cannot tell you of ANY which allow you get this up close and personal to the works. It is undoubtedly a different experience which can only be appreciated in person.

Awesome place to spend a day. Beautiful art and always something special on display.

I love this place beautiful sitting in a middle of a pound it's one big loop would come back again most definitely always got something different going on every month

We had an amazing time. So fun to walk around outside and the whole museum was lovely. It's free!! 100% go here if you can
