We toured this museum recently, after seeing an article about the Ansel Adams Special Exhibit that will be there through May 11, 2014. Classic Images include 72 black and white photographs that Adams personally printed for his daughter, a portfolio he felt included his best pictures. Taken between 1921-1968, they include Moonrise, Hernandez, NM, Clearing Winter Storm, Yosemite and Spanish American Woman near Chimayo, NM. The Bosca Gallery included works by Gilbert Stuart and Thomas Sully. It took us approximately two hours to tour the museum. The entrance fee is $8 for non-members. We also enjoyed checking out Buck Creek which runs adjacent to the museum along the Buck Creek Bike Trail.
This is sweet little museum very easy to access from the bike paths through Springfield. They had a special exhibit of Ansel Adams photography, and since it was a special Family Day, entry was free!
A quiet little art gallery in Springfield, Ohio. Many local artist, but lacking in any big name artist. We took our grandkids there and they enjoyed the artwork. Worth a visit.
It's only 5 or 4 bucks depending on discounts. Pee poos are off to your right as you enter. the main galleries are off the left.Their's a prohibition on photography in some areas (oops) didn't see that sign in time, and for a small town it's a nice art museum.The gallery itself is pretty pretty. As for the art hanging around? No dog's playing poker , but a few of the glass pieces are freekin cool. I did exit the main door and stumbled over a sickly looking orange kitty cat (perhaps feral) but he let you get pretty close , but just laid down and meowed in pain. (had gigantic testicles for some reason) Yes the museum is worth a trip just to see the galleries them selves.
The museum has been around for a long time....and I am glad to see it changing into something new. Wish there were still classes to be had there regularly.
Nice variety of pieces, but check current exhibit if you want to be impressed. Building itself is quite striking.
This is a 30-45 min attraction for most people. Very small museum. 2 galleries have comtemporary art from Ohio artists. Lovely grounds to walk around. Admisison charge.
This museum has a small collection, but hosts many traveling exhibitions. We are very lucky to have such a facility in Clark county. It has adequate parking in a nice location. The art school has classes for all ages.
The museum is one of only a handful of community art museums affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution. Nestled to the north of downtown in a hollow that was once part of an early limestone quarry and is now part of the park district, the museum features a variety of local artist as well as traveling exhibits. Inexpensive to visit, the offerings are most enjoyable and there is seldom a crowd. For those who enjoy experiencing history as well as a variety of artistic renderings, this the place to visit.
I can't remember everything about it because I visited it over four years ago. I liked the variety of art styles and design they offerred on the day that I was there. I think that they had some cars on exhibit too. We spent more time at the restored Frank Lloyd House which is in Springfield.
