The art and sculpture work of Dale Chihuly will be featured soon @ Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas. Located just an hour from Heartstone Inn, it is a great day trip on your visit to Eureka Springs. The museum itself is free of charge and is well worth the visit all alone. The architecture and outdoor spaces are Cheri and Rick’s favorites. Great landscaped walking trails lead to downtown Bentonville with lots of fun art along the way.

The exhibit is June 3 – August 14 and features works of Chihuly art ‘In the Gallery’ and ‘In the Forest’. You do need to purchase a ticket for the special exhibit, it is $20.

The next exhibit is August 16 – November 13 featuring ‘In the Forest’ Chihuly art. This is $10. The rest of the museum is free. The link below will lead you to their facebook page and link you to purchase tickets.
