Where art celebrates life
Experience magnificent artwork from five millennia of world cultures in a richly historical museum building. Opened in 1898, the Worcester Art Museum features a 35,000-piece, world-class collection of antiquities, oils, prints, drawings, photographs, sculptures, decorative arts and more.
View paintings by Mary Cassatt, Paul Gauguin, Francisco Goya, Claude Monet, John Singer Sargent and James A.M. Whistler. Admire one of the nation’s finest collections of floor mosaics unearthed in ancient Rome. Step back in time in a monastic Chapter House, the first medieval building brought to America and reconstructed within the museum. Explore early American history in portraits, landscapes, furniture and silver work by patriot and artisan Paul Revere. See cutting-edge contemporary art featuring living artists from all over the world.
Special exhibitions showcase the masterworks, seldom-seen gems and important works on loan. Guided tours, artist talks, lectures, performances and family days interpret the art for a wide audience. An extensive studio arts and arts appreciation program draws 6,000 youth and adult students annually.
Dine in the Museum Café—or in warmer months—al fresco in our Stoddard Garden Court, and enjoy delectable luncheon fare with an artistic flair. The Museum Shop is the perfect stop for gifts and mementos inspired by the art of the world.
