Michele & Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts
This is a small museum with a wide variety of art. The first floor showcases American art. The second floor is European art starting with religious paintings from the middle ages and traveling through the centuries to French impressionists.
A platform stair lift accesses half of first floor. The second half is down a few steps with another platform stair lift. The second floor is accessed by an elevator. Museum personnel will open an emergency entrance door to exit the museum so using the lifts is not necessary when leaving. This is the first time that I’ve used a platform stair lift. It works so well that I’m surprised more business don’t use them.
Admission tickets are good for five different museums all located in the same block. In the center of the block is a small park dedicated to Springfield native, Dr. Seuss.
Two museum parking lots are located on either side of Edwards Street. Both are fairly small but short RVs will fit in the one on the northwest side of the street if parked using two spaces. Museum
