The Springfield Museums, located in the heart of Springfield, Massachusetts, feature five world-class museums that explore art, history, science, and Dr. Seuss, plus one Dr. Seuss Museum and National Memorial Sculpture Garden.
Come find the artwork you can’t stop looking at. 👀🖼️
We asked two Springfield Museums staff members to choose their favorite paintings and explain what keeps drawing them back.
Beginning Saturday, October 10, visitors will have even more to explore when In Nature’s Studio: Two Centuries of American Landscape Painting opens at the Michele and Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibition brings together more than 65 paintings spanning the early 19th through the late 20th century.
Watch the video to see our staff picks, then visit In Nature’s Studio and choose your own. Come back and tell us what caught your eye!
