Crystal Bridges Museum To Turn Kraft Cheese Plant Into Contemporary Art Center

VISUAL Posted: March 30, 2016 5:15 am

“The 63,000-square-foot space is intended to function somewhat in the way that MoMA PS1 in Long Island City, Queens, serves as an edgier, more experimental affiliate of the Museum of Modern Art. It is expected to open in 2018, … and the location, in downtown Bentonville, [Arkansas,] would not only provide a place to show more contemporary art but would also continue a transformation of the small city.”
