CLOSE UP: Old Auditorium Projection Room- Worcester Art Museum

Old Auditorium Projection Room- Worcester Art Museum


     Up until the late 1990's, for roughly 100 years, the west gallery on the second floor was used as an auditorium space. Evidence of the projection room from the old Museum Auditorium can still be seen, both outside on Lancaster Street as well as inside the Contemporary Gallery. The booth, plunked on the facade of the original 1897 building, now contains ductwork and various building systems equipment. In the Contemporary Gallery, the door and window to the projection room can still be seen as outlines on the wall.
