My favorite museum, for many reasons. Okay, I'm a bit biased because my spouse and I were married here in 2023 (ceremony in the Chapter House and reception in the Renaissance Court). But after a couple years of visiting, being enthralled by the collection and special exhibitions, there was a reason why we chose WAM to celebrate our special day. It's because Worcester Art Museum is amazing! I love museums, but oftentimes I feel overwhelmed by how much they usually have to see and feel like I rush through them, or intentionally only visit some rooms of choice vs. seeing the entire museum. Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is a prime example of this; it's amazing, a true cultural icon, but you definitely need to visit more than once to be able to truly absorb everything. WAM is, in my opinion, the perfect size, well within the Goldilocks zone of museums. It's not too big, it's not too small, everything feels just right. Interactions with employees have always been extremely pleasant on every visit, and I can personally attest that our wedding coordinators were beyond amazing. A true gem.
