The Springfield Art Museums

On the day we visited the Dr. Seuss Museum, we decided to visit all five of the Springfield museums.  This included two art museums which Alec and I just loved!

Thankfully each of the museums was pretty small so the other two boys were OK with touring them too.

The Michele and Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts housed some of my favorite artists' works of the impressionist movement!  We also checked out the White House display they had going of the Kennedy's in the white house and Evan got to sit at the Resolute Desk; which we read all about and remembered hearing about in the National Treasure movies.





Evan got to pretend he was the president of the United States!





The second art museum; the George Walter Vincent Smith Art museum had Greek God inspired sculptures and lots of samurai gear that the younger two boys just loved.  I loved the architecture and the stained glass windows as well as all the pottery art.

    1. It is pretty amazing what they could create with the tools and supplies they had available. And even more so when you think of how they've held up!

  4. It's great that you take your boys to the museum. I think it's important that kids get to see the beautiful creations and history of past items, especially when we're in a society of use and toss.

    1. Me too! We did walk through these rather quickly as we had several young children with us as part of our group but there is so much to see.

  7. What great museums! It looks like they had a nice variety of paintings as well as other artifacts. I would love to see that Kennedy exhibit too! Thanks for linking up to Take Me Away this month!
