The Worcester Art Museum is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. We are currently renovating and upgrading our over 125-year-old campus to create a better experience for our visitors and provide an optimal environment for the art collection we steward. Some of our galleries are temporarily closed, so we have created this gallery to bring many of the beloved works of art from our collections back on view. As renovations are completed, the art shown in this gallery will rotate. You will also be able to watch our conservators treat some of the objects that will later fill our newly renovated spaces.
The artworks on view in the upcoming While We Build gallery include sculpture from the ancient Americas and ancient Greece, Japanese woodblock prints, and contemporary paintings, as well as 17th–19th-century paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from the United States.
Learn more about our campus transformation and the capital projects currently in progress, all supported by our landmark fundraising campaign A Bold Step Forward: Campaign for the Worcester Art Museum.
