Why you should go…

Founded by Alice Walton and opened in 2011, Crystal Bridges holds American art spanning five centuries, including Asher B. Durand's Kindred Spirits, Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed and Norman Rockwell's Rosie the Riveter. Architect Moshe Safdie designed the pavilions that sit around two spring-fed ponds. The permanent collection is always free to view. Outside, five miles of sculpture and walking trails cross the 134-acre grounds, where Frank Lloyd Wright's Bachman-Wilson House also stands.
