How pleasant it is to visit an Art Museum and ours is quite special. The Worcester Art Museum first opened in 1898 and is home to the country's largest floor mosaic from 3rd century AD Antioch (city was destroyed by earthquake in 6th century AD). The collections were remarkable, but what really captured my attention was the medieval architecture of the great hall and the Chapter House. Originally from the Benedictine Priory of Saint John in west central France, the Chapter House has exquisite vaulted arched ceilings popular in the 12th century .
