Magnificent Finale...
The last day's agenda included Magnificent Art! "Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is a free museum with a world-class collection of American art with renowned collection ranging from Rockwell to Warhol housed in a grand structure set on 120 lush acres with 4 miles of trails for walking (pets too)/biking. The museum was designed by famed architect Moshe Safdie,
There were some incredible pieces in the Crystal Bridges Collection: Warhol's Coke Bottle (1962) bought at auction for $57.3 million. Durand's Kindred Spirits (1849) bought at auction for $35 million. O'Keefe's White Flower #1 (1932) the world's most expensive painting by a woman bought at auction for $44.4 million. At any given time the entire collection is estimated at least $550 million.
You can dine in the museum's restaurant, Eleven, for lunch, brunch, and an evening bar menu too.
However, we were itching to get on the road home so our last search was the Museum Store for some nifty artistic finds.
Then our mouths were watering for some Whole Hog BBQ!
It was an extra special day when we heard the Princess' glasses had arrived...
It was a Smiles For Miles Extravaganza!
