Love this museum. Great value for students

Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD Museum) is an art museum in Providence affiliated with the Rhode Island School of Design, in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. The museum was founded in 1877 and is the 20th largest art museum in the United States. The RISD Museum's collection of about 100,000 objects contains a broad range of works from around the world, including ancient Egypt, Asia, Africa, ancient Greece and Rome, Europe, and the Americas. Among the prominent international and American artists represented are Picasso, Monet, Manet, Paul Revere, Chanel, Andy Warhol, and Kara Walker. The collection also features notable works by Rhode Island artists and designers, including 18th-century Newport furniture makers Goddard and Townsend and 19th-century Rhode Island painters such as Anglo-American impressionist John Noble Barlow and portraitist Gilbert Stuart.

I had a difficult time enjoying the museum. I think, for me, it's because I had a hard time trying to identify the museum's genre/flavor/what-have-you. There's one paint/work right next to something of a different style from hundreds of years prior.nThat being said, I LOVE that they make it free to the public on certain nights throughout the year to allow everyone to enjoy art.

Best Museum in RI, excellent exhibits, very well curated.
