Everyday low prices have made possible a new American Museum in Walmart’s home town of Benton, Arkansas. Sponsored and financed by Walmart family member Alice Walton. Without a long history of interest and appreciation of the arts, the Walmart family has provided the world with a new destination to go to (and is also enabling free admission). The next time you shop Walmart, think of the artistic value your shopping is contributing to. We have probably not seen such a major new museum since the opening of the new Getty Museum in California.
