DECEMBER 22-28, 2019 WHAT'S UP! 5 # 8 Pieces Of The Past Museums take their missions in bigger, broader directions BECCA MARTIN-BROWN NWA Democrat-Gazette W hile the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art continues pushing the boundaries in its collections and the way it displays them; the Rogers Historical Museum continues to enjoy its shiny new home, the Hailey Building, which opened a year ago; and the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History continues to add to a photographic archive that numbers more than half a million images and keeps ever-changing exhibits of those photos on its walls, three other museums have elbowed their way into the headlines in the past year. Each is unique in Northwest Arkansas, and all are helping to shape a more complete picture of this booming community. MONAH In July of 2020, the Museum of Native American History will celebrate its 12th birthday in its current space at 202 S.W. O St. in Bentonville. An all-day event, Primitive Earth Skills Day, will feature hands-on workshops and demonstrations of arrowhead knapping, atlatl making, basketry, pottery and "as they say, so much more," says the museum's director, Charlotte Buchanan-Yale. "MONAH is the vision of creator David Bogle," Buchanan-Yale explains. "His collecting inspiration came as a young boy when he found his first arrowhead. After his collection outgrew his home, he opened a small museum off the Bentonville square. In 2008, David moved the museum to its current location in the old Sterling Photos courtesy Vintage Bentonville Newly acquired old photos continue to fill the web pages of the Vintage Bentonville online museum.
