Bentonville, AR, corporate headquarters of Walmart.
And the newly opened Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art http://crystalbridges.org/. This tree sculpture is the entry to the museum.
The architecture is worth the visit; this is the "11" cafeteria as it opened 11/11/11.
And we were on the first guided tour of the museum ...
where the collection ranges from
Colonial to Contemporary.
We stayed until dark
in America's newest art museum.
And then to Fayetteville, NC to visit our Chinese students who are now studying in the US. We return to China in a couple of weeks for another year of teaching.
