In 2011, she opened the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in her family's hometown of Bentonville, Arkansas, featuring works by the likes of Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and Mark Rothko. In 2025, Walton welcomed the inaugural class of 48 four-year MD students to her new Alice L. Walton School of Medicine in Bentonville.
