CLOSE UP: Original 1897 Cornerstone at the Worcester Art Museum

Original 1897 Cornerstone- Worcester Art Museum


     The cornerstone of the original 1897 building of the Worcester Art Museum can still be seen in the narrow corridor behind the PDP gallery. This stone block purportedly contains a small time capsule in it's center. However, an inventory of it's contents (1890's publications, photos, etc.) shows nothing so important that it would justify destroying the stone to retrieve it.
