Just what is a Buckyball? Click HERE for the official word from Crystal Bridges, but I’ll tell you what it means to me.
Buckyball: A hollow, geometric grid ball suspended inside a larger geometric ball with LED lights along the framework that constantly change colors, as well as patterns across the lattice.
It’s beautiful from afar, but seriously cool when you are close.
There are park bench chaise lounges placed along the perimeter under the Buckyball. 
Lying down, looking up into the moving colors and changing patterns is absolutely mesmerizing.
When the wind blows, the smaller ball on the inside will rock and sway, which adds even more interest to the display.
We are very blessed to have Crystal Bridges in our community!
What art museums are near you? I’d love to hear about your favorite displays!
Edited May 21, 2015 – I am not great with heights, but estimate the bigger ball to be about 20 feet tall and it sits on a pedestal that is approximately 10 feet high.
