“As a long-standing Smithsonian Affiliate, we continue to see the tremendous benefits of our affiliation. The resources, educational offerings, and staff support play a vital role in helping us execute our mission. We are proud to align ourselves with the Smithsonian brand and know that we are a stronger museum because of this unique partnership.”
“Our affiliation with the Smithsonian makes possible unique and exciting opportunities for our visitors to experience the Smithsonian’s collections alongside the Springfield Museums’ collections. Those treasures—in addition to inspiring objects and art—include learning opportunities facilitated by the remarkable curators and artists of the Smithsonian. This partnership has elevated our Museums and enhanced our visitors’ lives. We are grateful.”
“We are very grateful for the opportunities for collaboration through the Affiliations program. Whether through our two, highly successful training programs for museum professionals—co-developed with the Smithsonian—or through participation in the Affiliations National Conference, our partnership helps us learn new trends, advance our research, exchange ideas, and bring this knowledge to our communities.”
