Famous the world over for the valuable art collection of George Walter Vincent Smith. The Art Museum is an institution famed not only in this country, Just throughout European capitals and the far East.

This building in Italian Renaissance style is one of the most beautiful examples of befitting architecture in the country. Along its frieze are wrought in metal letters the names to great artists, and for the first time in the history of the world, the names of Japanese artists rank with those of Europe. In all this work, interior and exterior, Mr. Smith's taste was a governing factor. Public Spirited citizens of Springfield contributed 0,000 toward the erection of this noble home of art. Springfield people are justly proud of it.
