In response to summer attendance patterns and visitor interest, the Springfield Museums are expanding their hours to include Mondays through August 24.

In addition to Summer Festival Days programs on Tuesdays through Fridays, this summer the Museums are featuring the special exhibitions Hatching the Past: The Great Dinosaur Egg Hunt at the Science Museum and The New Reality: The Frontier of Realism in the 21st Century at the Michele and Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts.
