About Worcester Art Museum

The museum holds a very large collection of art from many cultures and periods, from ancient times to today. Its holdings include Roman mosaics, European and American works, and a major group of Japanese prints. Since 2013 it has also housed the Higgins Armory Collection, which makes it a leading place in the Americas for arms and armor. Visitors can explore new American art galleries and an armor display built around legends. The campus is currently being renovated, so some spaces may be closed during a visit.
