This past Monday, we shared BIG news: Crystal Bridges’ expansion will officially open on June 6–7, 2026! To mark this milestone, we hosted a special event in New York City with members of the arts and culture press, joined by Alice & Olivia Walton, our executive director Rod Bigelow, and visionary architect Moshe Safdie (Safdie Architects) whose design continues to shape the future of our museum. Guests enjoyed a true taste of Arkansas thanks to our friends at Onyx Coffee Lab. A special thank you to the Ford Foundation for hosting this unforgettable moment. The countdown to 2026 begins now—we can’t wait to welcome you into this new chapter of Crystal Bridges.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its expansion on June 6 and 7, 2026. This transformative project, designed by Safdie Architects, adds 114,000 square feet to the museum — increasing its size by 50% — and introduces a fully reimagined core gallery experience. Visitors can look forward to expanded galleries showcasing the museum’s growing collection, a brand-new café and flexible event spaces, a family-friendly splash pad, and more. This expansion reflects Crystal Bridges’ commitment to sharing a broader range of American stories through art, while deepening its connection to nature, architecture, education, and wellness.
