Crystal Bridges Spring Trip 2018

Return to this beautiful museum!  Started the trip with a docent taking us on a guided tour to selected artworks on viewpoints of America.  First stop was Rosie the Riveter by Norman Rockwell.  After, we ate a delicious lunch, then my group ran through the galleries, took a trip outside on the trails, back inside for treats in the Cafe, and finished in the museum gift shop.  Students throughly enjoyed the experience.

Crystal Bridges tour Spring 2017

Another amazing trip to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, AR.  This brand new museum offers school tours before open hours with a museum educator for schools!  After the tour of sculptures in the collection, they also provided us with lunch in their cafe.  We spent some time exploring the trails before heading back in to the museum to view the rest of the collection.  Along the way, my small group also stopped by the activity center to draw, play with puppets, build towers and read.  At the end we explored their library on the 3rd floor with great views and books about artists in the collection.  We finished with a few minutes in the museum store before we had to load up to go home.  Thank you so much Crystal Bridges for this opportunity, and thank you Ms. Bogle for letting us learn out of the classroom!
