Since the Renaissance Court opened in 1933, it has served as a cultural meeting place for the City of Worcester and for Central New England, hosting performances and concerts, festive celebrations, and illuminating tours, demonstrations, and educational programs. The Renaissance Court is the gateway to the Museum’s Ancient Art, Asian Art, and European Art galleries, as well as the Medieval Chapter House.
The Renaissance Court is also home to the Museum’s café, where visitors can enjoy coffee and lunch surrounded by inspiring art and architecture.

The Worcester Art Museum has commissioned Massachusetts-based artist Crystalle Lacouture to create a new installation for the Wall at WAM. She is the 11th artist featured in this series since it began in 1998. The billboard-sized wall fills a 67-foot expanse on the second story of the Museum’s Renaissance Court. For her Wall at WAM installation, Correspondence (for Elizabeth Bishop), Lacouture created an original painting which was translated into a monumental mural that reverberates through the space and is visible through a promenade of arches integral to the design of the 1930s building in which it resides.
