("a major exhibition about crystals. 'Crystals in Art: Ancient to Today,' which will be on display at the museum in Bentonville, Ark, from Oct 12 to Jan 6, 2020, spans four millennia, from a string of ancient Egyptian beads to work by Andy Warhol, Marina Abramović, Picasso and Ai Weiwei. * * * A crystal can be made of any material that forms naturally into symmetrical shapes,from snowflakes to grains of salt.
