Art Museum · Best for art lovers & families

Crystal Bridges was founded by Alice Walton (of the Walmart family) and opened in 2011 in Bentonville, Arkansas. The building was designed by Moshe Safdie and built directly over two spring-fed ponds in the Ozark forest — its name refers to the crystal-clear springs and the glass bridges that connect its gallery pavilions. The design creates an immersive relationship between art, architecture, and the surrounding woodland trails.
