Springfield Museums, à la Carte Lectures

The Springfield Museums’ lecture series Museums à la Carte celebrates 45 years of curiosity and learning. Beginning in 1979 as “Art à la Carte” with just a few dozen attendees, this popular program has reached thousands of people over the years and expanded its reach beyond the walls of the Museums when it began offering lectures digitally via Zoom in 2020.
