Worcester Art Museum, Worcester

This is a very large museum with a wide variety of interesting pieces from all different periods of time. Gallery workers are very knowledgeable and helpful when needed. Aside from my satisfaction with the main attractions, the museum's cafe is a whole different environment. My waitress seemed to have quite poor work ethic and didn't care much for customer satisfaction. While I understand the cafe was busy at the time, this waitress didn't even attempt to speak with basic manners and etiquette. Most of the time spent there, I received very vague and blunt one word answers and I don't believe this woman even tried to put a smile on her face. My cafe experience ended with my waitress telling me that the tip I left her was unsatisfactory and that I should reconsider next time I go to a restaurant. Also, the BLT I ordered was made with minimal effort, which came as a surprise due to their high prices. It pains me to give this museum such a poor review, but this cafe experience totally ruined my day.

Exquisitely curated mini collections from ancient to post modern, East and West, fine arts and decorative. A great teaching opportunity for those needing an AH 101-102 one day course. Overall a real gem. The portraiture collection is magnificent.

The art is beautiful. Also, the setup makes it very easy to successfully see all exhibits without getting lost. Nothing bad about the art itself. Additionally, the gift shop is unique. HOWEVER , the cafe food service was AWFUL. this particular waitress was rude, and gave me attitude right from the beginning. She took my bill and said "I'll be back with your change" then she came back saying "you do want your change back, right?" Giving me complete unnecessary attitude. After saying "yes I want change" she stormed off. I left her a tip that I felt she deserved. (My bill was only 18$) . Then after leaving, she followed me. And stopped to yell at me, calling me a "kid" saying I should have given more of a tip. Not to mention that the food wasn't worth 18$ or that awful service. DO NOT EAT HERE.

The Museum is really coming together. They have lots of interesting art pieces (both new and old). The staff is friendly and helpful.

This is a nice art museum with some unique features. It's not the MFA, and certainly not The Met, but it is a decent sized museum with some interesting collections and worth the trip for any local or semi-local art buff.
