ICYMI: Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art landed on the Washington Post's recent round-up of the 20 best in America.
What they're saying: "The Walmart connection, the Midwestern location and the assumption that the museum would be more celebratory than critical raised doubts. But the museum is thoroughly professional, innovative, open-minded and adventurous."
Our thought bubble: The Dallas Museum of Art (No. 20) and St. Louis Art Museum (No. 12) make a drivable trifecta for art enthusiasts in America's heartland.
