Worcester Art Museum, Worcester

This is a fantastic art museum with a wide array of well organized paintings, sculptures, relics, and special exhibits. We went specifically for the Higgins collection of medieval arms and armor. I also enjoyed the collection from the National Portrait Gallery. Staff and docents were friendly, and the scavenger hunt for my 9yo son was fun. With the holidays, they also had decorated trees, a guest train layout, and various activities from ice carving to hands-on armor tryouts. The proximity to parks and historical sites makes WAM and Worcester overall a great day trip.

A gorgeous art museum found in the second largest city in Massachusetts. While most tourists may gravitate to the museums in Boston, this one should not be overlooked. Their permanent collection consists of art and items from around the globe and include the Higgins Armory Collection after that museum closed several years ago. The rotating galleries always feature a new, fascinating collection. I'm fortunate enough to have seen the Jewels of the Nile exhibit and was blown away by the presentation. Truly a must visit for art lovers!

Absolutely delightful! Finally visited with my 2 boys. Sadly we arrived after school and the museum closes at 4pm so we couldn't see the upper floors. The staff is so friendly and very helpful. We had a great brief history of medieval weapons and armour which my boys enjoyed very much. They have a diversity of art work, from paintings to sculptures and jewelry. We will definitely be visiting again

The Worcester Art Museum is a wonderful way to spend a morning and afternoon. The staff are very charming, approachable, knowledgeable, and funny. They have plenty of varied activities for many different individuals. Everyone who visits is bound to have fun. The experience at the museum makes one feel closer to Killmonger and understand his mind even better. The cardio is a healthy plus.

This is always a fun local visit for me and my family. I am currently a New England Museum Association (NEMA) member and can visit for free plus one guest. I probably visit every other year when I want to see the latest new exhibit. My one complaint is that the Egyptian art was replaced by medieval art when the WAM received the collections of Higgins Armory.
