One of the five museums we got access to at the Springfield Museums with our single admission fee is the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum.
This art museum holds a large collection of American 19th century paintings, Italian 19th century watercolors, a rare plaster cast collection, Japanese arms and armor collection, tiffany stained glass collection and a Hasbro Games Art Discovery Centre.
Personally, I wanted to stay longer but we were pressed for time to see the other museums. We still enjoyed the beautiful collection here.
Cast from the original marble work of Michelangelo – Twilight, Thinker and Dawn.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter by Angelo and Francesco Marinali made of Istrian marble found only at the coast of Venice mainland.
