American art museum takes shape in Arkansas as heiress roils art world | Published March 26th, 2008: "It aims to be 'a premier national art institution' dedicated to American art and artists from the Colonial period through the modern era, according to the museum website www.crystalbridges.com.
Bringing masterpieces to a folksy corner of the Ozarks better known for Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., has spurred some art world reactions 'ranging from fascination to skepticism to fear,' the journal ARTnews wrote. There is also excitement among art professionals over what some describe as a major new museum, one of only a handful nationally focused on American art history."
