On Sunday, I took a walk with our daughter on the new pedestrian path that leads to the construction site of the new Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
To get there, we drove to Compton Gardens, which is a few blocks from downtown
Bentonville, where the paths of the garden lead to the museum's path (
www.comptongardens.org/). Once home to Dr. Neil Compton, Compton Gardens has been preserved as a native woodland. It's mission is to "create a peaceful, enjoyable and enlightening experience of nature....by continuing the efforts of the late Dr. Neil Compton to promote and conserve the natural environment of Arkansas through preservation". The first two images were taken on our walk in the garden. The remaining images are from the pedestrian trail that leads to the museum that is currently under construction (
www.crystalbridges.org/).
Before moving here, I hoped it would be opening soon. According to the website, the museum
"is an innovative, one-of-a-kind project. An undertaking of this significance and complexity takes time and must be done well. We are encouraged with our progress to date and expect to have a much clearer picture of a projected opening in the coming months".
