Worcester Art Museum

A year ago today I visited the Worcester Art Museum in Worcester, Mass.  We were in town that weekend for a concert and whenever I visit a new city, I always seek out their art institutions.  I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this incredible gem and I strongly urge anyone in the area (or […]
