Worcester Art Museum

The Worcester Art Museum is world-renowned for its 35,000-piece collection of paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, photography, prints, drawings, and new media. Every weekend the museum offers family friendly activities and has a drawing center where people of all ages can explore, experience, and learn about art. In this center, visitors are presented with fantastic artwork and are taught how it was drawn or painted. Next, the staff provides paint brushes or other utensils for visitors to create their own pieces of art, or mimic what is in front of them. If drawing is not what the team wants, check out the arms and armor demonstrations and learn about medieval knights, the Vikings, Samurais, Roman soldiers, and much more! 55 Salisbury Street Worcester, MA 01609
