Saw in yesterday's newspaper that over 70,000 have visited the museum since it opened. The initial rush to get in to see the place has slowed, so you won't need the free tickets to get in after January 1. The museum staff is offerering special tours limited to 15 people in a group. The speciality tours explore different topics, like, "women in American art," or "Colonial Period American art," and so on. Again, I cannot stress enough how fabulous this museum and the gardens and grounds are! SDC is closed in Jan and Feb, so plan a visit to Bentonville, AR soon to see this outstanding museum!
