Since its founding in 1896, the Worcester Art Museum has assembled a collection of 38,000 objects: from the ancient Near East and Asia, to European and American paintings and sculptures, and continuing with works by contemporary artists from around the world. Dating from 3,000 BC to the present, these works provide the foundation for transformative programs and exhibitions--focusing on audience engagement, connecting visitors of all ages and abilities with inspiring art, and demonstrating its enduring relevance to daily life. Creative initiatives- including pioneering collaborative programs with local schools, fresh approaches to exhibition design and in-gallery teaching, and a long history of studio class instruction-offer opportunities for diverse audiences to experience art and learn both from and with artists.

The gallery is wonderful.
Thanks! A lot of work went into it
Wow! How is it possible that this is now one of my favorites of yours... knowing that it is the reflection of the light from the windows you've looked through to inspire (or at least illuminate) your art for so many years is so beautiful to me...
Absolutely Gorgeous!
Thanks for a truly spectacular presentation. I only wish I could be there to see the exhibit and hear more of your excellent comments in person.
Also can be used for attacks around corners.
About time to give it back to the origins
These were my favorite exhibits to spend all day at the WAM to ❤
It's not what you think
Indians had gorgets before Europeans. Fact.
what is the red paint? acrilic?
The name of the product is called 'BIG', a ground made by Andrew Baldwin, which is usually used in making etching, which according to the manual, needs to be cured in an oven to be hardened.
this is 100% BS, Natives had been using slate gorgets for thousands of years before Europeans ever arrived in the Americas

“Natives adopted it even though they did it before….” What?
@7:29, It's not "aggressive removal of paint", but forceful and deep removal of paint. Subtractive methods in watercolours are always carefully measured and done by design.
Nancy, enter Islam and success
Engraving and dry points are different
Hello from Spain.
Things like this make me SO proud of Wormtown.
WONDERFUL
It's great to hear directly from the photographer what he was thinking when he composed this piece!
Thanks! Stay tuned - we've got a few more coming!
This was really good. I'm doing art history and doing research on Faith Ringgold and I'm becoming a fan of her works.
Thanks - she really was incredible
I would suggest giving Nancy a proper microphone to reduce the echo. And for God's sake, stop inserting annoying music into the video.
Thanks for the feedback - we've upgraded all our equipment since shooting this video 🥰 new videos with Nancy are coming soon with the opening of our new exhibition next weekend!
@@worcesterartmuseum Thank you.
Next time, consider no back ground music. It was distracting and on a repetitive loop that was nauseating. I really enjoyed the information, but the over dub music was uncomfortable.
Andrea, This is Jeffrey Oehrlein, your old friend from El Toro. The last time time I saw you was when I stopped by your home in Georgia with my mother and aunt. Looks like you are doing great. I've been in contact with Tom Cunningham and a few others from El Toro. Take care.
Spectacular ‘gator portrait. I saw an excellent show several years ago at the local museum that made me a Sargent fan.
THAT WAS A GOOD VIDEO - THEM ALLIGATORS WERE SCARY TOO (LOL) - GREAT PAINTINGS - BRAVO!!!
👌Andrea

Love to see armour mounted properly!
Great presentation, but the music really detracts from the message.
Really wonderful to see these together in a video and wish I could visit. However, I'm wondering if I were to get there and sign up for a tour, would there be music playing at the same time as the guide gave their talk? I don't recall any museum ever having piped in music unless it was a critical part of the exhibition but in a video the practice persists unaccountably. Please consider the underlying music here to be as distracting as it'd be if played during real time. Especially for those with hard of hearing issues, any kind of music at any volume, even as low as you have it here, can be an issue. Here, it was more than obvious when it was paused (a relief!) and then started up again (curses!). Not only is it a fallacious myth that all videos made today require a soundtrack under speech, the reverse actually makes for a far better video when someone speaking makes up the majority of the overall sound track. A little music at the beginning and the end is like having matching bookends but you wouldn't place them in-between books, right? Thank you for your consideration on this, at least. Again, love seeing watercolor artwork finally coming into its rightful place in the art world, and thank you for helping toward that.
Wonderful! WAM, one of my favorite, formative places 🙏🏻❤️
Polaxes were often not especially sharp. If you're only going to spend 90 seconds on it, try not to get it wrong
Great job, Delaney!
Beautifuly kept! Also maybe its the cadence in his voice or the glasses but Bill has that Jeff Goldblum vibe
Bill said he aspired to be half as cool as Jeff Goldblum!
Can not stand this creature.
How did they etch it?
Acid! Usually beeswax or another acid-resistant material, called resist, was applied to the whole piece and the design was made by removing the wax with a tool like a stylus, exposing the steel. Then, they'd dip it into acid which would etch into any surfaces not covered by the resist
Awesome
The music is incredibly distracting. It should have been omitted.
Thank you for the feedback! We're always trying to make sure each video is better than the last one and will keep this in mind.
Thank you, Claire. Outstanding.
Thank you for watching!
where can i get more info about the use of the Targone and the Mazzascudo/ giocco del ponte game?
Hello - thanks for asking! You can learn more about it in another video on our channel: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHuBkrF8eNa7fs4.htmlsi=fuiSIcPRO_lbOAbM Our Curator of Arms and Armor also recommends the book "Palio and Ponte: an Account of the Sports of Central Italy From the Age of Dante to the XXth Century" by William Heywood and this more recent article from the Met: www.metmuseum.org/art/metpublications/a_rare_armor_for_the_gioco_del_ponte_the_metropolitan_museum_journal_v_42_2007
wow, amazing , new friend ❤❤❤❤
People saying it couldnt be effective, i dunno. For bodyguard work, it has a good long reach. A sword on a pole, but really just for distance 'staby staby' work :)
Yeah, this is clearly meant to be taken and used in "civilized" and probably urban areas, not on the battlefield. This means what you're going to be facing is at most brigands or thugs with a cudgel or at best a short sword, little expertise and probably no armor to speak of whatsoever. A bodyguard will probably be a veteran warrior of some type, with a mail shirt or breastplate, a sidearm to boot, and with this in hand, he would make mincemeat out of that sort of opponent. It would also be superb at holding off multiple enemies just by threat of stabbing and area control due to length, which is perfect for bodyguard work. While they hold enemies at bay, the noble and other guards can escape.
Wonderful to see in person.
heh, the Todd's workshop made in 2 days version brought me here. Very cool
