Excellent Regional Museum

I had mixed feelings about patronizing a museum developed by the Walton family given that Walmart has done so much to gut small towns across America. (It's interesting that Bentonville has been sort of reimagined and renovated as sort of an idealized small town. What...More

Drive a long way to see this

We live in southeast Nebraska, and made Crystal Bridges our goal for an overnight visit. Beautiful setting, eye catching buildings, lovely permanent collection. Even a really nice Museum Store. All this in a clean, friendly town with many hotel and restaurant choices. Worth the 8-hour...More

Must See

A most interesting place. Thanks to the Walton Family for providing such an Exhibit for everyone to visit. The Frank Lloyd Wright house was a plus.

One of our favorites

We get here every chance we get. The building itself is a work of art, then of course the art inside. Then the extra exhibits, the dome, the Frank Lloyd Wright house, all of it is exceptional.

Very cool place

It’s amazing that you can explore the majority of this place free of charge. We stopped by for a bit while in town but we didn’t have time to see everything and it was way too hot to walk the outside trails. But we plan...More
