In 2018, Springfield Art Museum revealed a 30-year master plan to bring the museum campus into the 22nd century, at a cost that could ultimately top $20 million.
Three years and a pandemic later, officials running the taxpayer-owned trove of some 10,000 art objects are taking the first concrete steps toward making the vision a reality. The master plan calls for four phases of improvements to the museum s building and grounds in Phelps Grove Park, and it would integrate the campus into the Ozark Greenway trail system, which includes a stretch in nearby Fassnight Park. I like to think it s connecting the Art Museum to Wonders of Wildlife and downtown, the museum s director, Nick Nelson, told the News-Leader Friday, ahead of a City Council vote scheduled for Tuesday on whether the museum can accept a key grant that will help kick off phase one of the project, the renovation of the museum grounds.
