Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened on 11-11-11. We waited until November 20 to make our first
visit, to avoid some of the crowds. Actually, the crowds were still there, but we missed the V.I.P.s .
We spent the whole afternoon looking at the various exhibits in the galleries. There were volunteers ready to help lost visitors, guide tours, and answer questions about the pieces of art. The facilities are still under construction, including landscaping and trails.
There were more galleries than we had time to cover, so we wound up spending most of our time in Wonder World, Colonial, and 19th Century collections. I jotted down some of names of some of the pieces of art and the artists, so I could view more of their works online. I took some photos of some of the works (non-flash permitted). I have uploaded some of my photos from the Wonder World exhibit.
