Museums in Massachusetts
From world-famous paintings to inspiring folk arts and crafts, the Massachusetts art world is a feast for the eyes. Not to mention the ears — with orchestras, concerts and chamber music groups throughout the state. If the play’s the thing for you, vibrant theater will keep you on the edge of your seat. And from ballet to modern, the Massachusetts dance scene is sure to move you.
Explore one of America’s leading small art museums at the Worcester Art Museum. Catch a performance of a Broadway show, musical, ballet or film, at the Citi Performing Arts Center in Boston. See the very best in contemporary crafts at the Fuller Craft Museum. Or plan a trip west to the Berkshires, where the Williamstown Theater Festival is a summer-long celebration of theater attracting an impressive array of artists.
With such a rich heritage of creativity, and a vital population of contemporary artists, you could dedicate a weekend — or a whole vacation — to exploring the art of Massachusetts.
