Visions of America
Located in the former Early American galleries, the Visions of America Galleries feature a core experience designed to inspire curiosity and offer a high-level introduction to five centuries of American art through the Crystal Bridges collection. Organized into five thematic sections, We, Dreaming, Nature, Making Our Mark, and We the People, the Visions of America Galleries take guests on a journey reflecting on American people, the power of dreaming and artistic imagination, our relationships with nature and its materials, the objects that shape our spaces and cultures, and the unfolding story of America.
