The Museum Store at the Springfield Museums features unusual selections that will spark a child’s creativity or appeal to adults looking for something special. The Store specializes in the work of artisans from the region, such as blown-glass planets and vases by Josh Simpson, luxurious hand-dyed and hand-woven scarves, one-of-a-kind silver and gemstone jewelry by designer Bianca Zoe, and other examples of fine craftsmanship. In addition to being the source for Dr. Seuss books, toys and games, the Store carries wonderfully creative science and craft kits for children, fantastic books, and a large selection of Folkmanis puppets of realistic animals and imaginary creatures. Both little girls and collectors will love the Ellis Island dolls representing immigrant children, and the adorably costumed Bearington Bears.

It's no wonder that Cambridge is so often referred to as "Boston's Left Bank.” Just across the Charles River from Boston, it's a city where Old World meets New Age in a mesmerizing blend of history and technology. Only minutes away from downtown by subway or by foot, visitors can visit historic sites including the world-renowned campuses of Harvard University and MIT. As a captivating, off-beat alternative to Boston, the "Squares" of Cambridge are charming neighborhoods rich in adventurous dining options as well as unique shopping, theatres, museums, and historic sites. Cambridge is a city where counter-culture still lives, classic culture thrives, and multicultural is a way of life.
