From Elvis’ barbershop to presidential museum: 11 museums you’ll want to visit in the Natural State

See where Elvis got the “haircut heard around the world,” view sculptures with a river backdrop, see Mr. Sam the Hologram and peruse masterworks of American art at museums in Arkansas. One surprising stop was a visitors’ center in a former brothel.

I was moved by the recounting of the violent protests that met the attempt at integration at the Little Rock Nine at the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site.

The recently renovated Arkansas Museum of Fine Art is filled with art by artists that include Renoir, Monet, O’Keefe and Matisse, and a light-filled Cultural Living Room.
