Summer @ Crystal Bridges:
Art, Nature, Color & More!
This summer, Crystal Bridges invites you to explore indoor and outdoor exhibitions, art, sculpture, concerts, and more that will engage all your senses and inspire you to explore the natural world.
Discover two special exhibitions: In the museum’s temporary exhibition galleries, discover Nature’s Nation, exploring how artists have portrayed our natural world over the past 300 years. Outside, be wonderstruck with colorful, bold sculptures against the backdrop of the North Forest in Color Field. Explore the grounds and welcome back four beloved Chihuly sculptures. Create art in the newly designed art space, the Studio. Enjoy music and dance in the forest on Saturday evenings. Experience all this and more during this special summer of art, nature, and color at Crystal Bridges.
Summer exhibitions tickets include Nature’s Nation and Color Field and are $16 between June 1 and September 9.
