Museum of Worcester

One of the principal cultural/institutional treasures of the City of Worcester: this is not only a museum but an important repository of historical documents about the history of Worcester and the surrounding region. The institution itself has made great strides to transform itself into an educational resource for the Worcester community for all ages and diverse backgrounds. Together with the nearby American Antiquarian Society, the Museum of Worcester maintains important historical records for researchers, authors of books on American history and culture, etc. For families and school groups, curatorial efforts are paying off in new exhibits, many hands on. Parking lot in rear (entrance on Chestnut Street) and handicapped accessible, with a newly installed elevator off the lot.

The Worcester Art Museum is a cultural gem nestled in Massachusetts, offering an enriching experience for art enthusiasts. Boasting a diverse collection spanning different periods and styles, the museum showcases an impressive array of paintings, sculptures, and artifacts. The museum's commitment to community engagement shines through its various events, workshops, and educational programs. With its well-curated exhibits and a welcoming atmosphere, the Worcester Art Museum is a captivating destination that celebrates the beauty and significance of art for visitors of all ages.

I've been here at the Worcester Historical Museum 5 times in the pasted few years, with family this is a beautiful Museum dedicated to our wonderful amazing City of Worcester MA! The reason that brought us in to go to the Worcester Historical MA this pasted Tuesday 8-16-22 , was that my 96 year old Grandfather is coming to visit from Florida with my 94 year Grandmother, we wanted to get him the the wicked cool black tee- shirt that ("say's all the different ways you can Pronounce WORCESTER ")! I'd gotten one a few years ago pior, my grandfather lived in Worcester MA, many years ago. So this shirt has some meaning behind it. This Museum is a great place to go to with young children and adults . It was (FREE Admission ) for us to enter if Im correct It's been (" FREE Admission since Middle of July till the End of August 2022") ,this is another part of celebrating Worcester 300th Tercentennial . Also, during the entire month of February they usually run " FREE " Admission because the kids that are in the Worcester Public schools are on February vacation! Great time to go too! A few things did change, I'd noticed that a few things were up & running at the Museum! Not many people there when we were there.

Worcester's rich history displayed about as well as one could given the space. A definite must-see for visitors and newcomers to the city as well as long-time residents.

I think this is a great museum! I loved the touchscreens where I could select artifacts to examine more closely. The replica diner area was fun; even for adults! There’s a lot of hidden gems throughout the museum. I highly recommend checking it out.

The museum is relatively small, but there is a lot of stuff packed in, particularly in the room filled with all the industries that have called Worcester home throughout the years. We also drove the short distance to the Salisbury Mansion (part of the museum). The tour we got was a little rushed as it was the end of the day, but the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and it was both fun and interesting.

Love it! Is a place with lots of things to learn from Massachusetts even to know the real creator of the famous Smiley Face Emoji 😊😘😂😔🥴😋🥰. If you are around Worcester Ma you can't miss it !!

This is the nicest, classiest museum. Deb and Eleanor are so professional and hospitable, I immediately felt at home. Thank you both Ladies, you made this old veteran's day😇🙏😇
