Museum guests can access the new elevator tower and north forest beginning with members-only previews of a Dale Chihuly exhibition May 27 - June 2.

The construction of a third entrance and an elevator tower on the north side of Crystal Bridges will increase access to the museum’s north lawn and trail system. At the top level, the elevator opens to a 100-foot bridge that leads to the North Forest Trail. The trail is about a mile longer, 10 feet wide and will increase accessibility to the museum’s outdoor spaces, especially for visitors using wheelchairs, strollers, or mobility scooters.
