BENTONVILLE AR | Crystal Bridges Museum | Complete

Crystal Bridges Museum

Alice Walton's odd self-indulgent foray into the Art world lands in Bentonville Arkansas, home of the Walmart heiresses' family business gone global behemoth.

Designed by noted architect Moshe Safdie

Late April: most of the museum is complete. Exhibits open to the public.

The collection is eclectic with very little curatorial focus. Alice Walton has reportedly spent hundreds of millions of dollars on "auction trophies".

This place turned out really great. It's wonderful that the Walton family has so much civic pride. This place is really a wonderful gift to the people of Arkansas.
