The opening of Wal-Mart heiress Alice Walton's Crystal Bridges museum of American art may be delayed by a year or so, the Associated Press reports.Read the story here.
The museum itself has not announced a delay to the original 2010 opening date, but Bob McCaslin, the mayor of Bentonville, where the museum is being built, said in a recent state of the city address that the museum would open in 2011. A subcontractor for the project, designed by Moshe Safdie, said that the job "will run through 2011."

Crystal Bridges to Be Delayed?
Well, this isn't suprising, especially when you consider that Walm-Art will have to work out the Card Check process for musuem staff before the museum actually opens. Watch out! Here comes the curator's union. :)
