水晶桥博物馆于2026年6月6日和7日迎来重要里程碑,对外开放由萨夫迪建筑事务所设计的、备受期待的11.4万平方英尺扩建区域。此次扩建将重塑博物馆的参观体验,让更多人能够接触五个世纪以来的美国艺术,并提升游客与建筑各区域的互动方式。扩建后的博物馆增设了两个全新的专用艺术展厅,其中包括一个配备定制天窗系统的大型特展空间。此外,还设立了一个专门的创意学习中心,内设教育空间、社区聚会区与画廊、驻留艺术家工作室、数字艺术工作室、陶艺工作室以及艺术创作空间,面向所有年龄和能力的创作者,进一步推动博物馆在艺术可及性、教育和社区服务方面的使命。
Crystal Bridges will mark a major milestone on June 6 and 7, unveiling its highly anticipated 114,000-square-foot expansion designed by Safdie Architects. The expansion will transform the museum experience, expanding access to five centuries of American art and enhancing the ways visitors interact with every part of the building. The expanded museum introduces two new dedicated art galleries, including a large space for temporary exhibitions featuring a bespoke skylight system. In addition, a dedicated creative learning Hub (the Hub) with educational spaces, community gathering areas and galleries, artist-in-residence studios, a digital art studio, a ceramics studio, and artmaking spaces that will engage creators of all ages and abilities, advancing the museum’s mission of arts accessibility, education, and community.

在全新临时特展空间中推出的首个展览将是《凯斯·哈林3D作品展》,于6月6日开幕。这是首个聚焦这位标志性艺术家三维作品的展览,将展出哈林的大量作品,包括雕塑、图腾柱、面具、滑板、服装、音箱、绘画、素描,甚至一辆1963年款别克Special,全面展现他艺术实验的广度。新的特展空间增强了水晶桥博物馆同时举办多个临时展览的能力。
The first exhibition to be on view in the new temporary exhibition space will be Keith Haring in 3D, opening June 6. It is the first exhibition to highlight the iconic artist’s work in three dimensions and will feature a wide range of Haring’s works. The exhibition will showcase Haring’s sculptures, totems and masks, skateboards, clothing, boomboxes, paintings, drawings, and even a 1963 Buick Special, highlighting the breadth of his artistic experimentation. The new exhibition space enhances Crystal Bridges’ ability to host multiple temporary exhibitions at once.

全新的当代美国艺术画廊将展出草间弥生的《无限镜屋》、特雷西塔·费尔南德斯的《马尼瓜(镜子)》等作品,在展示博物馆馆藏中突破边界的当代艺术作品的同时,也呈现其历史悠久的美国艺术典藏。两间画廊之间由一座桥梁连接,桥体提供了额外的雕塑、陶器和玻璃器皿展示空间。桥上还设有一个40个座位的咖啡馆——石英与蜂蜜,游客可以一边用餐,一边欣赏周围五英亩景观的无遮挡视野,包括溪流、花园、小径和一个1.5万平方英尺的池塘。博物馆坐落在占地134英亩的园区内,与心脏地带整体健康研究所和爱丽丝·L·沃尔顿医学院为邻,其建筑风格凸显了奥扎克林地的自然环境。
A new Contemporary American Art Gallery will include Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room, Teresita Fernández’s Manigua (Mirror), and more, showcasing the museum’s collection boundary-pushing contemporary works alongside its historic American works. The two galleries are connected by a bridge that provides additional space for displaying sculpture, pottery, and glassware. The bridge also features a 40-seat café, Quartz + Honey, where visitors can dine with unobstructed views of the five acres of surrounding landscape, including streams, gardens, trails, and a 15,000-square-foot pond. Sited on a 134-acre campus along with Heartland Whole Health Institute and Alice L. Walton School of Medicine, the museum’s architecture highlights its Ozark woodland setting.

扩建部分延续了博物馆原有的环形流线,在两个溪流汇成的池塘之间完成了一个“8”字形布局,并增设了一个北入口,提供通往博物馆和园区的多层通道。该扩建在萨夫迪建筑事务所原有设计的基础上,从当地的自然环境与建筑传统中汲取灵感。扩建部分采用了暴露的南方黄松木梁、带深挑檐的坡屋顶、从地板延伸至天花板的通透玻璃、铜质覆层,以及一系列俯瞰景观的门廊。
Extending the museum’s original looped circulation, the addition completes a figure-eight across two stream-fed ponds within the surrounding ravine and introduces a new north entrance that provides multilevel access to the museum and grounds. Building on Safdie Architects’ original design, it is inspired by the region’s natural setting and building traditions. The expansion features exposed southern yellow pine beams, sloping roof forms with extended overhangs, expansive floor-to-ceiling glass and copper cladding, and a series of porches overlooking the landscape.

在水晶桥博物馆扩建过程中,馆内几乎每一件艺术品都被重新安置,包括“美国愿景画廊”中的藏品,如蒂芙尼工作室的《山地景观》(纪念鲁特之窗)、纳里·沃德的《我们人民》(黑色版)、诺曼·洛克威尔的《铆工罗西》等。现有画廊被完全重新构想,博物馆通过美国艺术讲述新的故事,展现通过艺术赞美美国精神的多种方式,并突出艺术家的视野与声音。游客将能欣赏到博物馆超过4100件永久收藏中的近600件作品,其中包括近200件首次展出的作品,以及过去两年完成的数十件最新艺术家委约创作。
As part of Crystal Bridges’ expansion, nearly every work of art in the museum was moved, including those in the Visions of America Galleries, which include Tiffany Studios’ Mountain Landscape (Root Memorial Window), Nari Ward’s We the People (black version), Norman Rockwell’s Rosie the Riveter, and more. The existing galleries have been completely reimagined as the museum works to tell a new story through American art, revealing the many ways to celebrate the American spirit through art and highlighting artists’ visions and voices. Visitors will be able to explore nearly 600 works from the museum’s permanent collection of more than 4,100 works, including nearly 200 works on view for the first time and dozens of recent artist commissions completed over the last two years.

所有画廊空间都将展出原住民艺术与工艺作品。通过一批重要的新收购和委约创作的当代原住民艺术作品,包括肯特·蒙克曼的《拯救新来者》,博物馆进一步强化了其对支持历史上被忽视的艺术家、拓展美国艺术叙事的持续承诺。重新设计的画廊超越了传统艺术史的范畴,营造出沉浸式、互动性的艺术、艺术家及其故事体验。
All gallery spaces will feature Indigenous art and craft objects. Anchored by a significant group of new acquisitions and commissions of contemporary Indigenous art, including Kent Monkman’s Saving the Newcomers, this reinforces the museum’s ongoing commitment to championing historically underrepresented artists and expanding the narrative of American art. The reimagined galleries go beyond traditional art history to create an immersive, interactive experience of art, artists, and their stories.

该扩建项目占地11.4万平方英尺,使博物馆总面积增至31.4万平方英尺,为动手学习、激发好奇心和探索创造了条件。新空间包括两个收藏画廊、一个临时展览画廊、教育空间、艺术工作室、一个社区活动室、咖啡馆和一个室外广场,旨在深化观众参与度并拓宽可及性。执行主任罗德·比奇洛说:“我们非常激动地向公众开放水晶桥的扩建区域。这次扩建极大地拓展了我们服务社区和国家的方式,提供了聚集、探索和发现的空间。如果您以前来过水晶桥,您将体验到一段穿越五个世纪美国艺术的崭新旅程。我们迫不及待地希望游客亲身体验美国艺术博物馆这一新篇章的一切。看到它变为现实,真是令人无比兴奋。”
Spanning 114,000-square-feet, the expansion increases the museum’s total size to 314,000-square-feet, creating opportunities for hands-on learning, curiosity, and discovery. The new space features two collection galleries, a temporary exhibition gallery, educational spaces, art studios, a community room, café, and an outdoor plaza, all designed to deepen engagement and broaden access. “We’re thrilled to welcome the public into the Crystal Bridges expansion,” said Rod Bigelow, executive director of Crystal Bridges. “This expansion dramatically broadens how we can serve our community and the country through spaces to gather, explore, and discover. If you’ve visited Crystal Bridges before, you can expect an entirely new journey through five centuries of American art. We can’t wait for guests to experience everything this next chapter for America’s art museum. It’s incredibly exciting to see it come to life.”

扩建开放庆典的活动安排融合了沉浸式、自由参与和导览式体验,旨在激活博物馆的新空间,并预览创意学习中心全年将提供的各类动手机会。在两天时间里,游客将全面体验扩建区域,从创意学习中心的创作空间到戏水区等户外设施。水晶桥首席学习与参与官玛丽莎·雷耶斯表示:“扩建的核心是创意学习中心,人们可以在这里创作、实验和互动。社区休息室提供了一个轻松的入口——一个温馨的放松与停留空间,可以读书、结识新朋友,并参与与本地社区合作伙伴共同举办的活动。从那里,你可以进入陶艺、玻璃、金属工艺、纤维艺术、丝网印刷、绘画等动手工作室,还有一个创客空间,可以尝试最新的数字工具。无论你的年龄或经验如何,总有一处适合你。”
Programming for the expansion’s Opening Celebration offers a mix of immersive, drop-in, and guided experiences that activate the museum’s new spaces—and preview the kinds of hands-on opportunities the creative learning Hub will offer year-round. Across two days, visitors will experience the expansion in full, from the Hub’s creative spaces to outdoor amenities, like the splash pad. “Central to the expansion is the creative learning Hub, where people can make, experiment, and connect together,” said Marissa Reyes, chief learning and engagement officer at Crystal Bridges. “The Community Lounge offers an easy entry point—a welcoming space to relax and linger, read a book, meet new people, and join programs co-hosted with local community partners. From there, you can move into hands-on studios for ceramics, glass, metalwork, fiber arts, screen printing, painting and more, as well as a maker space to try the latest digital tools. No matter your age or experience, there’s a place to jump in.”
