Worcester Art Museum

This landmark exhibition brings the ancient city of Antioch to life with extraordinary treasures created nearly 2,000 years ago and reunited for the first time since their discovery in the 1930s.

As diverse as New York City and Worcester are today, Antioch attracted ambitious entrepreneurs from all over the Mediterranean. Discover how they lived and worked through a recreated Roman dining room, a luxurious garden pool, sensuous sculptures, stunning glassware, magnificent mosaics, and more than 100 other objects. Works are from Worcesters world-renowned collection, as well as the Louvre, Princeton Museum of Art, Baltimore Museum of Art, and several other major European and U.S. museums.
