Crystal Bridges Museum

While we were visiting my brother and family in Fayetteville we took a trip to visit the new Crystal Bridges Museum. If you have not heard about this museum, you should definitely visit the website and check it out. It is an American Art Museum funded by the Walton's who founded Walmart.

The museum building itself was really neat and the surrounding landscape was just awesome. I really enjoyed the sculptures and modern art portion of the museum and took a few pictures of some of my favorites.
This sculpture was made completely out of old TV's and their parts. It was really neat to see how they used the TVs.
This is a depiction of the Last Supper made completely out of thread bobbins. If you look through the glass ball seen on the right side of the picture, the whole scene flips back the right way. So cool!
This guy was made completely out of vintage toys! The is a jack n the box on there and lots of tops and jacks and all kinds of cool stuff!
This was a huge red disk and when you looked through it distorted your image of the door and lobby on the other side.

I loved this glass dress. It just amazes me that people can make such neat things out of glass!
I only got one picture of the landscape around the museum. Soon almost the whole landscape will look like it is floating. Where this picture is will soon be a waterfall and the water will then flow completely under the building.

This was a great museum to visit and I highly recommend it if you are every visiting the Fayetteville/Bentonville, AR area.
