Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Culture and heritage
Crystal Bridges Museum
Crystal Bridges Museum combines American art and Ozarks landscape in pavilions designed around the water and the forest. The galleries range from colonial portraits to contemporary works, while the outdoor trails extend the visit by sculptures, bridges and views of the basins.
Place indismissible
The Momentary
The Momentary is housed in an old factory that has been transformed into a contemporary art venue, concerts and performances venue in Bentonville. Its industrial atmosphere, large rooms and changing installations make it a more experimental counterpoint at Crystal Bridges, with programming that varies greatly according to the dates.
Museum
Museum of Native American History
The Museum of Native American History presents objects, tools, pottery, clothing and works related to the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The visit follows a clear chronological line, from ancient periods to historical cultures, with an accessible approach that is well suited to families and curious travellers.
Nature and panorama
Coler Mountain Bike Preserve
Coler Mountain Bike Preserve makes Bentonville a very concrete destination for cyclists, with wooded trails, footbridges, technical descents and more affordable areas. Even without a bike, the trails and the sports atmosphere show how the city built part of its recent identity around the open air.
