The George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum is an art museum in Springfield, Massachusetts. It is the oldest of the five museums on the Quadrangle.

The museum is named for the collection's original owner. Smith and his wife, Belle Townsley Smith, bequeathed their notable collection to begin the museum.[1] The Italian palazzo-style building dates from 1895 and was designed by the New York City-based Renwick, Aspinwall and Russell and Springfield architect Walter T. Owen.[1][2][3]
