About Michele & Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts
Part of the Springfield Museums group, this art museum on the Quadrangle focuses mainly on paintings and works on paper. Its displays cover American and European painting and sculpture, Japanese woodblock prints, and decorative arts such as furniture, textiles, glass, ceramics, and metalwork. The museum is especially known for its French, Dutch, and Italian works and for one of the country's largest groups of Currier & Ives lithographs. Galleries include a 19th-century French room, an 18th-century French gallery, Dutch and Flemish rooms, and an Impressionist gallery. A Community Gallery shows juried work by emerging and mid-career artists from Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut.
