The Springfield Museums say the number of people visiting the cultural institution this year has matched the attendance levels of 2018.
It is a post-pandemic milestone that comes as the museums recently achieved a 10-year reaccreditation from the American Alliance of Museums. It is a distinction that will help in fundraising, marketing, and result in more collections loaned from other museums and more traveling exhibitions.
The Springfield Museums have an estimated $22 million impact on the region’s economy.
