CLOSE UP: Wall Sconces at the Worcester Art Museum, 1914 and 2014

Wall Sconce at the Worcester Art Museum, 1914

     An enlarged view of a 1914 photo reveals the silhouette of a familiar wall sconce. The original brass fixtures are long gone. An old photo, perhaps even this very one, was used to recreate 8 new wall sconces for the Worcester Art Museum's Centennial. They, of course, now illuminate Stephen Earle Hall on the first floor.

Pipework for the Morgan Memorial Organ, 1942. Worcester Art Museum

     High above the Renaissance Court at the Worcester Art Museum, on top of the lay lights, is the pipework for the Morgan Memorial Organ, donated in 1942. The organ, called Opus 1036, was designed and built by the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company in Boston, Massachusetts.  It was used for concerts at the museum for over 50 years. The organ has been out of commission since the 1990's, but the bellows and pipes are still waiting above to sound off once again.
