Frommer's Review
Prestigious RISD (pronounced Riz-dee) supports this ingratiating center of fine and decorative arts. Of the many excellent college and university museums in New England, this ranks near the top for the breadth of its collection. Those holdings include Chinese terra cotta, Greek statuary, and French Impressionist paintings. Probably of greatest interest are the works by such masters as Monet, Cézanne, Rodin, Picasso, and Matisse. But allow time for the American wing, which contains paintings by Gilbert Stuart, John Singleton Copley, and John Singer Sargent. The Gorham silver collection alone is nearly worth the admission.
