Springfield Art Museum

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave their lives, and to those who kept their memory alive through art.

This quilt, made by the Ladies of the G.A.R. (an auxiliary to the Union veterans' group that helped establish Memorial Day), preserves veterans' names and ranks through embroidery.

Museum offices are closed in observance of the holiday.

Time to take a brief pause and look around: what's a little lopsided, slightly topsy turvy and uneven? We're encouraging you to look for something asymmetrical in your space right now. Share with us!

As always, we hope these moments foster creativity and inspire wonder. We love seeing what you share each week!
