Risd museum Reviews

Though not the most impressive museum in the world, it still has things that will leave you in awe. The large Buddah statue is always a highlight and I do love the student exhibits as well. The way it's setup is a lot of fun, like a big maze in the middle of the city. And for Providence, this is by far the biggest art collection you are going to find. I do wish there was more Indigenous art, as RI is Narragansett tribe land. But alas, perhaps they will add more. For now, it's a lovely place for a day date or to wander around solo. One of my favorite places to wander & think out life decisions -- and I'm so happy it's open again after being closed for over a year to the public!

You can t really go wrong visiting this museum. They have an incredibly diverse set of mediums: paintings, sketches, photography, sculptures, film, furniture, and more! There s something for every art lover. Go between the hours of 5pm & 7pm for free admission.

Incredible art in so many different forms. They have multimedia, painting, textiles, furniture, sculptures, and everything in between. My sister and I were amazed at the wide selection and some of the art they had on display. We enjoyed our trip here and spent almost 2 hours and couldn't see everything before they closed. Allot a good amount of time of you want to look at everything!

Place was super chill. Sundays are free and the curators are knowledgeable and friendly

Fantastic art museum in the heart of Providence, the RISD Museum has a wide variety of art including paintings, sculptures, jewelry, furniture, porcelain tableware, and more. There is a small courtyard in the middle of the museum, a very nice place to get some fresh air and sit for a while (weather permitting). Tickets aren t too expensive, and admission is free on Sundays. I spent about 2 hours here on their first day open since covid, and I only got through half of the museum, if that. You could easily spend the better part of a day here if you really appreciate art.

Not a big museum but full of surprises. They have a couple of French impressionist paintings from the masters like Monet and Cezanne. Also check out their Egyptian display. I try to visit this museum whenever I'm in Providence.

An absolute must when visiting Providence. RISD offers an eclectic range of art and furniture. I especially enjoyed the Raid the Icebox exhibit, absolutely fascinating and thought provoking.

Well curated art museum with a section of furniture and some industrial design. Highly recommended.

Such a beautiful selection of artwork. There is a Van Gogh and a few Monets. The artwork created by students were incredible! It really exemplifies the talent RISD elicits.
