CLOSE UP: Da Vinci, Durer, Rembrandt medallions at Worcester Art Museum

da Vinci, Durer, Rembrant medallions at Worcester Art Museum


     When the Worcester Art Museum was first built in 1897, a series of eight carved stone medallions chiseled with the names of famous artists ran along the roofline. Today, only three of these medallions are still visible (and only from higher up, viewed through a window).
