This location is easy to find and offers so much!! From all kinds of art, hands on activities, dining, hiking, architecture, and shopping. It is really a joy to spend time here. You can experience art in an Airconditioned setting, or a shaded walk, or experiencing a Frank Lloyd Wright home, or walking on a sculpture path. This gift shop is very detailed with something for everyone. The docents are very knowledgeable and quite helpful. Dinning was a little high but not so high you walked past. Hard to believe entrance to this location is free!!! If you want to see the FLW home, get your free timed tickets before you visit on line to ensure you do see the home.

Wow outstanding museum and grounds! Everyone said to visit and that’s correct. We walked the art trail and enjoyed the nice leveled surface and beautiful grounds. Check out the map they have shuttles, parking lots and walking trails with many different spots of entry. Saw many on bikes.

Really beautiful art museum with something for everyone. Due to the heat that day we stayed indoors and enjoyed the variety of artwork. I appreciated the museum’s thoughtful commentary about under-representation or misrepresentation of women, indigenous peoples and people of color in art. I hope to go back some day and explore the sculpture gardens and various trails.

This museum is nice on so many levels. First, the Art Museum itself is wonderful. Good balance of different styles of art. Since it is American art, the time frame is not as expansive as other museums, but this is not a concern, just something to be aware of. Secondly, on top of all the great art, there is the architecture of the museum itself, which is both interesting and unique. There are numerous panels explaining the construction and the design that are also interesting. Third, the grounds around the museum are beautiful, coupled with the interesting outdoor art pieces. The trails are beautiful to hike (or bike). Wonderfully maintained. Fourth is the Frank Lloyd Wright house, which was also fascinating. Don't skip this if you visit. Finally, the staff, including those at the cafe & coffee bar were extremely friendly. Kudos to the staff!! The main museum is free (a big plus), but spend the additional $$ to see the extras. Don't miss this one!

There's lots to see here. We spent a half day in the special exhibit. Then came back the next day for the regular exhibits. And some time strolling the grounds and took in an evening outdoor concert. The regular exhibit does a good job of incorporating materials from and about the many peoples of the area. I liked the way contrasting pieces were set next to each other so you could view them together.

This is a beautiful museum that is built in a circle, so as you move through the galleries, you are also moving around the property. It's fantastic! There is natural light where there should be, and plenty of room for additional galleries and exhibitions. I loved the way the artwork was organized and displayed!! The galleries are thematic, so you have George Washington hanging right next to a contemporary piece. If you are an art lover, this museum is a MUST-DO attraction, and it's FREE!!! The only additional expense is for the special exhibit. Outside the museum are miles of hiking and biking trails. Pack a picnic. Make a day of it. The lands are beautiful and the perfect setting for such a beautiful museum.

We had a few days between destinations. Ask a friend who lived near of something to do. She said, CRYSTAL BRIDGES. So we went , so surprised.. We loved every minute we were there. A very nice addition was an outside exhibition of Dale Chihuly’s glass sculptures . We walked around a short trail through the woods while enjoying the beautiful glass art.

My husband and I drove the 2 hours to Bentonville to visit the museum. The last time we did so was about 5 years ago and the road in and the signposts seemed different from that long ago. I think HWY 412 from Tulsa to Siloam Springs through Gentry and into Bentonvile is how we went and was recommended by GOOGLE MAPS. The approach to the museum seemed different as well, but not difficult. We recommend getting there earlier in the day as parking fills up and when that does, there is a shuttle, and I can't direct you to that either. The iron tree located at the front entrance is quite beautiful and a wonderful landmark. The museum is making improvements to the grounds and also adding buildings. We viewed all of the permanent displays, starting with "We the People". Reading some of the commentaries was very educational and I was impressed with the wide scope of inclsive language to view the works. Afterward we viewed the installations on the walls and the Chihuly sculpture from the ceiling- it was breathtaking. We had lunch at Eleven. I had a chicken sandwich and cornbread and my husband had pork and grits. The food is mid-priced and chef curated ( I suppose 40 dollars for two). In the eating area there is a takeaway sandwich and coffee bar as well. Seating areas were generous and I think eating allowed only in this area. I visited the bookstore and along with interesting books, children's materials, I located Japanese pens, stationery and storage containers ( Tombow pens and writing instruments). All in all a very fun trip to replicate very soon!!

Really great facility, design, and vibe. So pleasant. Good collection of American art with free admission excluding special events. A must see if visiting NW Arkansas.

I was surprised by the large art collection. Really enjoyed the contemporary art section. There's a Frank Lloyd Wright home on the property. We paid to join a guided tour of the home. Well worth it! We also were lucky enough to catch the Annie Leibowitz exhibit, also an extra cost. The museum and grounds are free of charge. There are many trails around the museum that we enjoyed walking through. It's busy on the weekends but there is plenty of parking. We rented a cottage nearby so we could walk to it. Trails led us right to it! We spent two days at the museum, the first day we hiked the trails and looked at the outdoor sculptures then did the FLW Home tour. We really enjoyed Nancy, our tour guide. The second day, we looked at the art collection inside the museum and the Annie Leibowitz collection. Simply fabulous!!
