Crystal Bridges Museum - Bentonville, AR

Jason and I finally made it up to the new museum that opened 30 min. away from us!  The museum was funded mostly by Alice Walton and is completely free forever.  It was an incredible place – it has been ranked as one of the top museums in the country, & now Bentonville is in the top 10 places to visit.

This was one of my favorites too – I really like the messy oils.
