The mission of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is to welcome all to celebrate the American spirit in a setting that unites the power of art with the beauty of nature. Our travel program includes unique experiences that may awaken your imagination, deepen your understanding of the past, present and future and at times provide opportunities to challenge your perception about art, nature and architecture. We ask for open hearts and minds, universal respect for staff and other patrons and the ability to have empathy as we explore creativity and new perspectives on local, national and global levels. In this professional and collaborative spirit, Crystal Bridges does not tolerate comments or behavior towards artists, hosts, staff, or fellow travelers that are not reflective of these values. We reserve the right to withdraw invitations to travel with the museum to any individuals who do not exhibit these shared values.
