Museum Lobby

In April, the Museum was pleased to announce the acquisition of a sculpture by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly titled Autumn Persian and Feather Chandelier, made possible by the estate of Elizabeth Burgess.

We hope you will join us in lifting a glass to this newest piece in our permanent collection on October 22. This impressive piece will be the first work of art that visitors encounter upon entering our newly renovated Lobby, and it serves to further elevate the cultural and artistic profile of our community. Refreshments will be served.

Also opening on October 22, Avant Art (the former Museum Shop) which features a new exhibit titled Art in Our City, Museum merchandise, and beverage service. This new flexible social gallery space has been under renovation since its closure in April 2017. Art in Our City will highlight local artists and the character of Springfield's unique neighborhoods. The first six-month rotation of this exhibit will feature eight artists from City Council Zone 1.
