WORCESTER ART MUSEUM (WAM)

If you're looking for a fun afternoon with friends or family, or some quiet time alone, check out the Worcester Art Museum. Get ready to experience some of the finest art from around the globe and across five millennia.

You'll find prized Roman mosaics, iconic American and European art, and a restored 12th century Medieval Chapter House at this celebrated museum. Venture inside for one of many fully immersive experiences and exercise your vocal cords — the acoustics are amazing. Explore the museum's galleries in search of arms and armor from the remarkable John Woodman Higgins Armory Collection, among the most distinguished in the Americas.

The first museum in America to acquire paintings by Monet and Gauguin and one of the first to collect photography, WAM still actively commissions and collects art. Its holdings are of national and international significance.

Admission is free the first Sunday of every month and always free for children ages 17 and under.
