This summer, .jpg) Crystal Bridges welcomed Amy Allen (pictured below on the right) to the staff as our first library intern. This six-week long internship marked the completion of Amy’s Master of Library and Information Studies degree from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. When Crystal Bridges opens it will house an extensive art library which will be a wonderful resource for this area and for scholars from all over the country. While we look forward to the opening, there is still much to be done and Amy’s knowledge and experience have been instrumental in helping our library to move forward in the r...

This is the number one most frequently asked question by visitors to Crystal Bridges at the Massey. It is always a pleasure to share the progress we are making on our permanent facility, and the excitement of what is coming usually leads someone to ask, "When will Crystal Bridges open?"
On June 15, Crystal Bridges at the Massey will have been open for one year. Over 14,000 people have visited in that time, and many visit often to check the updates we continually make to our display of information and images about the Crystal Bridges Museum construction project. In May 2008, we expanded this part of the Massey gallery to include our final building design model, images from the Crystal Bridges Museum collection, and additional new photographs of the construction site.&n...
