The Wall at the Worcester Art Museum has finally been replaced. The workers had put the last piece of the digital image by Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison called These Days of Maiuma onto the wall today.
Honestly, it looks better, but I believe people are still going to have complaints about it. The subject matter seems to be strange. A man appears to be walking onto the floor mosaic in the Renaissance Court at the museum and is carrying a dead dear with blood dripping into glasses fastened to his shoes. There also appears to be a lot of garbage from after a fancy dinner party. The girl laying down seems interesting, with a glass to her ear containing a butterfly. What really might offend people is the possible suggestion of cocaine lines on a plate in the image. Parents are bound to be upset about that. The description is not yet available, so I don't quite understand it fully.
There will be an official opening for this new wall art on March 23rd.
Also, I heard a rumor recently that Higgins Armory is going to close and the Worcester Art Museum is taking in the collection. That's great for the art museum, but I feel really bad for everyone who works at the Armory. I know times are tough, but this does not make it better. Supposedly, some of Higgins' collection will be displayed in the library, and some will be displayed in the Hiatt gallery after Kennedy to Kent State is closed.
