Medieval Chapter House
Pause for a moment of peace and seclusion inside a Benedictine priory from medieval France. This chapter house once served as a meeting room for monks, and the Gothic stone arches, stained glass windows, and grand fireplace inspire a quiet awe to this day. Originally built in the 12th century and in use until the French Revolution, the chapter house was moved stone-by-stone and rebuilt inside the Worcester Art Museum in 1933.
