Construction to begin soon on luxury hotel for Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

Alice Walton’s Crystal Bridges Museum is getting its own luxury hotel, according to the AP. The city has been upgrading water and sewer lines. Several restaurants are also in the works for the area.

Ms. Walton, you are about to put Bentonville, Arkansas on the map! Or something. Though we don’t doubt that the museum will contain some interesting art—Ms. Walton told the Times last month she was snatching up “substantial” bodies of work by Martin Johnson Heade and John Singer Sargent among others—Crystal Bridges is really starting to sound like, well, the Wal-Mart of museums.
