Learning about art can sometimes seem like a gargantuan task. But when you step into the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, prepare to be amazed at the depth and breadth of the work that is displayed here. Learn about art that spans ancient Roman sculpture all the way up to modern graphic design. Some of the many highlights and attractions include the 19th century French galleries that feature the work of Matisse, Rodin and Monet, just to name a few. You'll also be captivated by the beautiful pieces that are part of the Greek and Roman galleries that include sculptures and frescoes. By the time you experience all 45 galleries, you'll be an art expert!

There's art for art's sake, and then there's art with a purpose. The latter is what you will find when you visit the Woods-Gerry Gallery . The gallery exclusively exhibits the work of the students and faculty of the Rhode Island Independent School District. This ever-changing collection underscores the talents and expressive abilities of artists who are a vital part of our community. The art is expressed through various mediums that include glass, graphic design, textiles, architecture, painting and photography.
