Worcester Art Museum - Worcester, MA

Worcester Art Museum, the second largest in New England, is a gorgeous museum which displays over 35,000 impressive works of art. This large 4 floor museum, which opened in 1898, features a wonderful collection including mosaics, European and American paintings, Roman & Greek art, and interesting Egyptian and Asian collection, my favorite, modern art, and much more!

The architecture inside the building itself is very impressive. The Renaissance Court is stunning; take a look at those beautiful arches! It also houses the largest floor mosaic in the US.

Worcester Art Museum contains a surprisingly large collection of impressive art for a city of its’ size. Not only is the artwork beautiful, but also the museum itself. A seasonal outdoor cafe in a beautiful courtyard would round out a nice summer afternoon. In addition, you will find many great restaurants outside of the museum in Worcester for dining before or after your visit. I recommend Nu Cafe, just a short drive away; read my full review.
