Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas

I love museums that allow photographs! It wasn't that long ago that the majority of museums made you check your camera at the door.

I took so many photos at Crystal Bridges, many that I wish I had taken more time to identify the artist.

I really loved this bronze sculpture entitled The Bubble, by Harriet Frishmuth. The art hanging on the wall is The Latern Bearers by Maxfield Parrish.

Another piece that was fun to see was Andy Warhol's
Dolly Parton.

This museum may be new, but it has an amazing collection, thanks to the Walmart money of Alice Walton.

Thanks, Pix!

Looks like a very cool museum. I have family in Arkansas, so will visit if it is near. Where is Bentonville? (I could look it up, but I'm quite frankly, rather lazy today ( :
I love Parish, as well as bronze statues, particularly lamps. And pretty much nutso about Art Deco and Art Nouveou in particular. Can stare at Frank Lloyd Wright coffee table books for HOURS on end and dream. Such a look to it all. Thanks for the views from a cool museum.

Bentonville is in Northwest Arkansas. When my parents retired they moved to Bella Vista, so I got to know the area pretty well during the 15 years that they were there. The museum is well worth going out of your way for, though. The art collection and the grounds are quite incredible.

There is a lot of Frank Lloyd Wright influence around me here. Taliesin is an hour and a half away. One of my favorite books in recent years is one entitled Loving Frank. It is a historical novel, but it really humanized the tragedy at Taliesin for me.

Thanks for using eSteem!

It should be great to visit a museum and be able to take good pictures of everything beautiful in them

I think so, too!

interesting......

It is a fantastic museum, with free admission!

Those are truly spectacular art pieces; although I know only Andy Warhol and of course Dolly Parton 😉

Maxfield Parrish is a favorite of mine and I have prints of some of his work hanging on the walls of my home. I had never seen the lantern painting until I was at the Museum, so it was really interesting to see that one.

I just Googled him and I can see why you like his work. It's very beautiful in a magical way 😊

It is magical, isn't it? I have 'Daybreak' hanging on the wall where I get to enjoy it everyday.

That is just like a heaven 🌸💖🌸

Todo una obra de arte,demasiado lindas esas piezas,saludos

Gracias, espero que todo te vaya bien.

Do you come away with photos enough for 50 posts ?? LOL

I love lanterns, so of course I love that lantern photo. Something magical about lanterns

I wish I did have that many! If I would have known about Steem back then I sure would have tajen more!

I'm really attracted to the colors in the lantern painting.

Oh ! ha ha.... .You may have said and I didn't pick up on it, but I thought you had gone recently. :)

I don't get out of the house much these days and I have a ton of photos from when Jim was alive and we were traveling. I love sharing them here and reliving the memories.

Thank goodness you loved taking so many photos ! How handy is that now ? !

Ohhhhh... the memories. I know that has to be special.

At first it was hard to look through the old photos, but as time passes it just makes me smile to remember all the fun we had together!

The bronze sculpture is awesome.

I loved it too! The sculpter was not familiar to me.

Love maxfield Parrish! I've never seen that sculpture before

He is one of my favorites, too.
