Trip to Crystal Bridges

Hello All!
We took a trip to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art 
this week in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Thought y'all might enjoy a look at this wonderful exhibit of Artist's work from all over North America.



There are several beautiful nature trails on the grounds, 
each with a different theme. 
Click on the flowers photo for more about the trails.


There were so many excellent works of art! 
 I wish I could show them all!
Too many to keep track of!


I love this country farm family painting.


This was the view looking in to the center of the building.


Art from the colonial period.


The restaurant in the museum, Eleven, uses local produce.
Very reasonably priced, too. 


George was there! 


...and so was "Rosie the Riveter" by Norman Rockwell!
She seemed to be a favorite among the visitors.


Modern Art also. This is a BIG piece of red glass.


This was a very interesting family portrait!

Hope that you all enjoyed my photos!
Have a good weekend!
