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.

In 2013, Robert and Shana Parke-Harrison unveiled These Days of Maiuma, a 67-foot-long work of art installed on the wall overlooking the Renaissance Court. Created in direct response to the Hunt mosaic on the floor below it, the subject depicts figures and a decadent feast superimposed on top of an image of the mosaic.
