Crystal Bridges' Beloved North Forest Lights Will Be Returning To Arkansas
We are happy to announce the return of Crystal Bridges’ North Forest Lights display! Last year the North Forest Lights had a brief stay at the museum but thankfully the experience is making a return. This immersive outdoor light show is truly one-of-a-kind. Let’s take a walk through the forest and learn more about the exhibit.

The museum reopened in June with additional safety measures in place (such as the mask mandate and limited entry) and has continued to bring new and exciting exhibits to the view. For general information on planning your museum trip, visit the Crystal Bridges website.

The North Forest Lights first came to Crystal Bridges last winter as a temporary display though February. We're looking forward to this second season of the light and sound show!

The project was a partnership between the museum and Moment Factory, a Canadian-based multimedia studio. Moment Factory was founded in 2001 and has created all sorts of stunning light shows including concerts, halftime shows, and events all around the world similar to North Forest Lights.

North Forest Lights has five distinct installations: Crystal Grove, Forest Frequencies, The Hearth, Whispering Tree, and Memory of Water. Each section aims to translate the spirit of the forest in different mediums, whether it be glowing language of the trees or the heated "heart" of the forest.

The light show will be available all the way until April 4th, 2021! This gives families the chance to experience the impressive show with an added factor of seasonal changes. Last year's winter experience was downright magical but we're excited to see the lights against the fall colors and spring blooms, too.
