| The
Springfield Art Museum is a City agency with a rich heritage
of supporting the arts in the Ozarks. It operates under authority
of a nine-member board.
The
Museum is the permanent home for some 8,895 art objects representing
thousands of years of culture. Special collections include
19th, 20th, and 21st century American paintings, watercolor,
sculpture and prints.
Incorporated
in 1928, the Museum was first operated entirely by volunteers
and still relies heavily on community support in a variety
of ways. The Museum has had several homes along the way. The
present Museum, on the edge of Phelps Grove Park, opened in
1958.
A 392-seat auditorium was completed in 1974 and extensive
renovation of the Museum was completed in 1984. In 1994, the
Jeannette L. Musgrave Wing with four new exhibition galleries
and storage for the permanent collections was completed. In
2008, a new wing with an entry hall, galleries, gift shop
and a new library was completed.
