We were excited that there was a Chihuly exhibit at the Crystal Bridges Art Museum. It is now common to see his glass in gardens, museums, public courtyards and large building spaces. We were on the lookout for something new. We were not disappointed.
Crystal Bridges Part II
The outside and grounds of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art are worth a trip all of its own. Go inside and it is just icing on the cake. Lots of icing! Rich creamy icing!! The space is open, light and easy to maneuver. There is a wonderful restaurant with a brunch served on Sundays (table cloth included). There are well placed sculptures, special exhibits and places to rest. At this time the special art exhibit is a good representation of the work of Stuart Davis. Our photographs of the paintings could be boring, however, for some it will provide a sense of the place. Photographers are welcome at the Museum but tripods are not encouraged, except outdoors. The use of flash is prohibited (as usual in museums). We hope you enjoy your visit to the Museum.
We hope you have enjoyed your tour. If you have a chance and are in the area, spend a day at this museum. Admission is free.
