Choose Your Own Adventure Itinerary: Adult, Few Hours

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art will be closed Monday, May 13, to prepare for the visit of Antiques Roadshow. We will return to normal hours of operation Wednesday, May 15.

There is so much to see during the Summer at Crystal Bridges that it might be difficult to even know where to start. That’s where the Choose Your Own Adventure Summer 2019 Itineraries come in hand!

If you are an adult/group of adults who has a few hours to spend at Crystal Bridges, please see the below itinerary to plan your trip to the museum this summer:

3-5 pm: Walk up the Art Trail toward downtown Bentonville to see more exciting sculptures, and enjoy a drink at 21c Museum Hotel.

Sunset: Head to Skyspace: The Way of Color (located on the Art Trail, past the South Lawn) at sunset to watch a light and color show like you’ve never seen, and then make your way back to the museum entrance to sit under Buckyball to witness another magical light show.

OR

If it’s Saturday: Come back at 7 pm for the Forest Concert Series + see Color Field at night! Food and drinks will be available at the food truck.

 

Didn’t get to see Nature’s Nation or Color Field? Don’t worry! If you purchased an exhibition ticket, you can come back within one month of the purchase date and see the exhibition you missed, free of charge.

Check our calendar to incorporate events into your itinerary, depending on the day you visit!
