It’s Time for All Gender Restrooms
The Worcester Art Museum is committed to the philosophy of "access for all.” With this in mind, we have made the Museum's single stall restrooms gender neutral, reflecting the needs of today’s audiences. Visitors will notice that our restroom signs have been changed to reflect this new approach, providing a more welcoming environment for all of our audiences regardless of gender identity.
