About Springfield Museum of Art
The Springfield Museum of Art stands as Southwest Missouri's largest fine-art institution. Though the main facility is temporarily closed for a multi-year renovation, the museum continues to engage the community from its downtown temporary home at Wilhoit Plaza (431 S. Jefferson Ave). With a history dating back to 1928, the museum regularly hosts evolving exhibitions, public programs, and partnerships with regional institutions like Missouri State University. This page provides practical details to help you plan a visit or attend events, including parking, transit options, seating information, and trusted local lodging and dining recommendations.
When the main building reopens in 2028, guests can expect expanded galleries and a high-ceiling auditorium as part of ongoing improvements. Until then, check the event listings for Watercolor USA, All School Exhibition, the 99x fundraiser, and MSU-focused programs hosted at the temporary venue. Secure your seats through our trusted ticket partners, and rely on us for straightforward, no-nonsense booking and up-to-date venue information.
