I've been to the Worcester Art Museum every year since I was a kid and it's still one of my favourite places to spend a weekend ever. They have one exhibit set to look like a medieval castle or church off of the main entrance hall and I used to spend the majority of time - much to my parents chagrin - there, wishing I could live there.

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.

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.

Hello! We do occasionally spotlight local artists, but for what you're looking for you should get in touch with Worcester Pop-Up, Arts Worcester, or the Sprinkler Factory. Good luck!
