I am extraordinarily impressed with a museum. Yes, a museum!
It's the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville.
The architecture of the multiple buildings that almost appear to float in the lake water is impressive. But their art collection is great. I've heard that it's already being called a world class museum.
There are even hiking trails on the wilderness like acreage surrounding the museum complex.
And it's Free!!! No admission is charged. Admission is, as they say, paid for by Walmart. A daughter of Sam and Helen Walton paid for the museum to be built and paid for the art in the museum; some of which was in her personal collection. Walmart pays for the operating and staffing costs. That's how I understand it. It is a fantastic collection of art.

It's at 600 Museum Way in Bentonville.
I think it's worth seeing for anyone and everyone. It's just not an old style museum.
