History The Worcester Art Museum first opened its doors in the spring of 1898. The institution, founded by Stephen Salisbury III bfor the benefit of all the people, b today houses
more
than
35,
000
works
of
art
representing
more
than
50
centuries
of
creative
spirit.
The
internationally
renowned
collection
bears
tribute
to
the
philanthropy
and
civic
pride
of
the
Museum's
benefactors,
as
well
as
the
pioneering
vision
of
its
distinguished
directors
and
curators.
Thirty-five
galleries
offer
visitors
a
walk
through
time
and
across
cultures.
The
journey
begins
with
sculpture
and
decorative
arts
from
ancient
Egypt,
Rome
and
Greece
including
the
largest
and
finest
group
of
Antiochin
mosaics
in
America,
on
display
in
the
Renaissance
Court.
The
Museum's
twelfth-century
Romanesque
Chapter
House
-
one
of
the
first
medieval
structures
transported
to
the
New
World
-
adjoins
galleries
featuring
paintings,
frescoes
and
liturgical
objects
from
the
European
middle
ages.
The
Asian
collection,
established
with
the
1901
bequest
of
John
Chandler
Bancroft's
Japanese
prints,
now
includes
textiles,
prints,
ceramics,
sculptures
and
paintings
representing
the
major
periods
of
Persian,
Chinese,
Indian
and
Japanese
art.
Masterpieces
of
Italian,
French,
Spanish,
Flemish,
Dutch
and
British
painting
from
the
thirteenth
through
the
twentieth
centuries
fill
the
European
galleries.

include
important
works
by
Piero
de
Cosimo,
Andrea
del
Sarto,
El
Greco,
Hals,
Gainsborough,
Goya,
Turner,
Renoir,
Monet,
Cezanne,
Gauguin,
Matisse,
Braque
and
Kandinsky.
Temporary
exhibitions
presenting
drawings
and
prints
from
Durer
to
Warhol
reflect
the
depth
of
the
Museum's
treasured
works
on
paper.
Goldwork,
pottery,
and
sculpture
represent
the
early
history
of
art
in
the
Western

from
Precolumbian

Colonial
and
Federal
silver,
period
furniture
and
decorative
arts

Copley,
Stuart,
West,
Eakins,
Bierstadt,
Homer,
Whistler,
Cassatt,

galleries.
In
1898
the
Museum
opened
the
first
New
England
gallery
solely
devoted
to
the
permanent
display
of
American
portrait
miniatures.
The
Museum
was
among
the
first
to
exhibit
and
collect
photographs
as
fine
art.
The
photography
collection
has
grown
to
over
2,
000
images
that
span
the
entire
history
of
the
medium.
Works
from
the
Civil
War
to
the
present
by
Matthew
Brady,
Cartier-Bresson,
Steiglitz,
Weston,
Frank
and
Winogrand
are
displayed
in
changing
exhibitions.
The
twentieth-century
galleries
feature
the
great
names
in
modern
art
-
Sheeler,
Benton,
Avery,
O'Keefe,
Kline,
Kelly
and
Noland.
Traveling
exhibitions
from
museums
and
private
collections
throughout
the
world
supplement
the
permanent
collection.
Temporary
installations
run
the
gamut
from
American
folk
art
to
African
textiles
Old
Master
prints
to
Impressionist
paintings.

tours,
concerts,

days,

classes,
films
and

events

organized
throughout
the
year
to
accompany
specific
exhibitions
and
works
of
art
in
the
collection.
