The name is scary, but this state park resevation is breathtaking! If you're up for the hike (and it's not rainy), we suggest wearing sturdy boots and workout gear. You can either descend into the chasm, climbing down rocks or start from either side and work your way into the depths of the park. If you venture far enough, there's a mini Purgatory Chasm waiting for you!
This museum is truly one-of-a-kind. This Venetian-esque palace is the original home of Ms. Gardner, and is also the same museum of the infamous art heist of Mar 18, 1990. If you're a fan of art, history, and textiles, definitely plan on visiting this musuem.
About a mile's walk from the Homewood Suites in Worcester, WAM's collection of nearly 38,000 objects contains superlative examples representing 51 centuries of creative spirit and cultural heritage, including some of the finest Roman mosaics in the U.S., worldrenowned works of European and American art, and 3,500 Japanese prints documenting the entire history of printmaking in Japan. Since acquiring the Higgins Armory collection in 2013, WAM is now home to the second-largest collection of arms and armor in the Americas, next only to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. WAM was the first museum in the world to purchase a Monet painting of water lilies (1910) and a painting by Gauguin (1921). It was also one of the first American museums to exhibit photography as fine art (1904), as well as to install an entire work of architecture – a 12th-century Romanesque chapter house – as a permanent exhibit.
