Worcester art museum Reviews

If you enjoy artwork, history and exploring, I will recommend this museum .
The current exhibitions include modern and contemporary. Artifacts and artwork from medieval times and exhibits from South America, Europe and the Mid East.
Two exhibits, one being advertised by WCRB, are the Japanese kimono exhibition and the second , which I didn't know about, exhibition of artwork stolen by the Nazis and slowly being returned to the family of the original owner, Richard Neumann. I am reading the book "Monument Men" and the second exhibit I find extremely fascinating. I've always been into Japanese artwork, that was what lured mean to this museum.
Lots of information and history posted about the artists, paintings , artifacts. It will take awhile to read! I was there for about four hours.
I went outside to the garden and I encountered a bird at her nest that let me take pictures. Amazing! Others who walked into the garden I informed about the bird and that bush became the most popular spot in the garden.
Facemasks required to enter. Floor is marked with arrows to show which path to travel. Hand sanitizer available. Bathrooms were in good shape. Cafe and library are closed . I became hungry and I was disappointed there was no where to eat.
Gift shop is restricted to 4 people at a time.
Plenty of .

Worcester is not the famous city for modern art galleries, but the Worcester Art Museum is a really nice place. Enough space for each display, good lighting and good education value.

Great museum nothing wrong there. But -1 the bathrooms were not cleaned at all - not going to get into details but it was gross. also another -1 for lack of parking..

Probably would rather make the drive to the MFA but this is a worth while trip too overall.

The museum is awesome! But the sales woman from gift shop is rude. Thanks to her I got no chance to buy anything from the museum's gift shop.

Nice size museum (not overwhelmingly large) with varied permanent collection and helpful staff. Mosaic courtyard is lovely. Had some interesting special exhibitions as well. Well worth a visit (or several visits).

I really appreciate this little gem. Brought my Mom here today for our first real outing since the Covidity started more than a year ago. It was great. We felt very safe and it was great to have a relaxing opportunity to tour the museum with it so quiet and peaceful. One of the many hidden benefits of the pandemic!

Really enjoyed our visit to the WAM! Something for everyone as pieces from BC to modern day are presented here. Some favorites include Egyptian, stree t art and colonial American. We also saw the What the Nazis stole from Richard Neumann Art exhibit. Looking forward to the The Iconic Jersey: Baseball x Fashion Exhibition!

Took my girls here and it was fun. We enjoyed see what this museum had to offer. It's small but very nice. Plenty of artifacts and and paintings to casually take time to look at for a nice afternoon or early morning thing to do. They have a library and a cafe there as well, also they offer art classes for people of all ages.

Small but mighty museum with some amazing very old pieces like mosaics and part of a church reconstructed in Worcester !!!

A lovely art museum. I went during the pandemic and there were several covid regulations. (1) you need to purchase your timed-admission ticket online. (2) follow the arrows (flow line) to see the art pieces. (3) must obey the max. number of people in a room. The first sunday's of a month is free. I went there in a free day due to covid, it was not that crowded. I enjoyed visiting this museum. Ample free parking. Some contemporary arts and lots of 20th century art...lots of armors. We completed the whole tour of the museum in an hour. It is a medium sized museum...clean restrooms. Free coat hanging area.
