Worcester Art Museum

Establishing + implementing traveling exhibitions program

With a traveling exhibitions program and the added capacity from The Museum Box, the Worcester Art Museum (WAM) shared its collections, its name and program to audiences globally and raised funds for the renewal of its galleries at home.

The Museum Box developed the touring exhibition program with six new exhibitions and one publication by WAM curators, and currently handles all traveling exhibitions operations, including contract negotiation, project management and budget oversight.

WAM’s traveling exhibitions will travel to 13 venues, including a multi-city Japanese tour of its exhibition Frontiers of Impressionism.
