UPDATE: CRYSTAL BRIDGES MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART ENTERS ITS SECOND DECADE©

In browsing through this Travelblog, it becomes quickly apparent that I am a huge fan of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas -- so much so that I have published three (3) articles on its various components and unique attributes since it opened in 2011.

As it begins its second decade in 2022, Crystal Bridges has achieved worldwide recognition, and it has put the small rural town of Bentonville, Arkansas "on the map".  What was once a quintessential rural town in northwest Arkansas located in the southern Ozark Mountains has been transformed into an artistic and cultural public art  work-in-progress, filled with around 130  murals on buildings and sculptures in public spaces.

Recently, Crystal Bridges was featured prominently on "CBS Sunday Morning", showcasing its considerable expansion over the past 10 years.   Its already-extensive private collection of approximately 1,700 works of art more than doubled during its first decade, with plans currently underway for an additional 100,000 square feet of exhibit space on the adjacent picturesque grounds  

Rather than write about how much Crystal Bridges has evolved and expanded over the past decade, and revitalized Downtown Bentonville, the video herein below will literally speak volumes.
