Crystal Bridges

Joy's Book Blog Posted on by

This was our second visit to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. We were so enchanted by the architecture on the first trip, that we spent most of our time on the grounds and never looked at the collection. This trip was to take some photos and finally look at the art. The art was great, but I didn’t try to photograph that, so here are my Saturday Snapshots of the museum.

Photos don’t do justice to the architecture. I looked at photos in magazines before we went and they really give you no idea what it’s like to be there, so I’m not going to feel bad that my photos have the same problem.

  2. Thanks for sharing. We are stuck in Wyoming and don’t get to travel much anymore. It is great to see all the pictures of everyone else’s travels. We have lovely destinations in our area. Come visit Wyoming and Western So Dakota!. My Post is Here

  4. What an interesting building. Wonder who the architect is. You’re right about photos don’t do justice to the piece. Nothing beats seeing architecture first hand in real life. Thanks for sharing!

    • Oops, should have mentioned that. The architect is Moshe Safdie. He also built the new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City. That’s another very interesting building, but completely different.

  11. I followed down and found the wedding pictures. Brought tears of joy to my eyes. I must try to copy the one of Andrew and Lauren. Thanks for posting them. And again, congratulations. Didn’t remember how many years = just the date.

  13. That is some phenomenal architecture in such a lovely setting.
    Your pictures make me wish I was there for a tour of the place as well, and like you — I may have spent most of my time outside, looking at the buildings. I am a huge fan of non-conventional architecture.
