The RISD Museum connects an art and design collection with the setting of the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence.
Its galleries invite visitors to compare objects across periods and media, making it a substantial stop for people interested in making, materials, and visual culture.
Plan a focused route through a few collection areas or a current exhibition. Some galleries can close for maintenance; the second floor of Pendleton House is currently unavailable. Consult the museum's visitor information for entrances, admission, opening days, and the availability of specific displays before arriving.
