Crystal Bridges - A quick initial trip

The heralded new Crystal Bridges Art Museum in Bentonville is all that it has been touted to be. We were happy to go on our initial visit with our nephew Ryan and his wife, Kalen, as well as Ryan's grandparents, Pat adn Jack  This museum is definitely world-class and is a treasure for Arkansas and the US. We are already looking forward to our next visits!

 Tree sculpture at entrance

 Over 20,000 spools of thread suspended on bead chains; viewed thru a glass orb and it appears in detail, right side up.  Unbelievable!

 Incredible architecture - will be more impressive when the pools are filled

 Norman Rockwell's famous "Rosie the Riveter"

View from the back since this site is PG :) 

Even though this artist's self-sculpture is much larger than real-life, it is so realistic it is spooky.
