Museum Helps Hotels, Restaurants

After her first visit to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art celebrating her 15th birthday Friday, Samantha Barragan of Rogers takes a self-portrait with the museum in the background in Bentonville. Laura Jacobs, museum communications director, said the museum has received an “extraordinary” reception from the Bentonville community. Support has come in the form of yard signs declaring “We’re glad you’re here,” online and social media feedback and a robust membership drive.
City hotels and restaurants are seeing the financial benefits from the November opening of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. More than 120,000 people visited the museum in its first 100 days, exceeding projections for 350,000 visits per year.
