Newport Art Museum 76 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, RI 02840

"My friends and I stopped at this museum thinking it would be a positive experience. When we walked in, we weren’t greeted and awkwardly stood in front of the ticket desk until we finally referenced buying a ticket. After we all bought tickets, she decided to verbally acknowledge us and tell us an art lecture was happening at 2:00 (it was 1:20pm). It felt very cold socially in there and my friends and I being young felt unwelcomed during our visit. I wouldn’t recommend waisting your time here, despite nice art - it was a negative and uncomfortable experience. If their goal is to keep young individuals out, they got that point across. Spend your time & money at a mansion or the Tennis Hall of Fame - it’ll be a much better experience, that I promise you. Also, one building was completely closed and there was no discounted price and we weren’t told prior to purchasing our tickets. Very snooty energy here overall."

"A nice gem right in the town center. They had this great exhibit from an Iranian artist."

"A must stop if your coming to the Newport area. It's not huge but I'd give yourself between 2-3 hours if you want to see everything and read some of the informational plaques. My favorite exhibit was the blown glass. I'll be back the next time I visit Newport for sure."

"I stopped by this cute little museum because I absolutely love seeing art. If you are a member, the entrance fee is free, but otherwise, it is $15 for adults, which, in my opinion, is quite steep for the amount of exhibits you get to see between the two buildings. You can pay the fee at either location and the staff is friendly and helpful. Both locations, including the grounds, are well organized and maintained. This place is definitely worth checking out while visiting the area."

"Better than I expected! There are two buildings. The older building has very charming interior details, a gorgeous staircase, nice paintings. I enjoyed it a lot!"
