About this adventure

RISD Museum opens its world-renowned galleries for an inspiring weekend of visual storytelling, creative exploration, and hands-on art-making for children and guardians. Pick up a complimentary 'Art Detective' family gallery guide at the Chace Center reception desk to discover ancient Egyptian sarcophagi, intricate Asian ceramics, vibrant Impressionist landscapes, and boundary-pushing modern sculptures. In the lower-level studio classroom, families can join drop-in mixed media printmaking and drawing activities guided by RISD student educators, utilizing non-toxic water-soluble inks and textured relief stamps. The museum offers seamless visitor amenities: all galleries and public wings are accessible via elevator towers and level gallery thresholds, accommodating strollers of all widths without tight squeezes. Coat check lockers offer secure stroller parking if parents prefer babywearing inside the galleries. Restrooms on levels 1 and 3 are equipped with fold-down diaper changing decks, and the museum lobby features quiet seating alcoves where parents can comfortably handle infant nursing or bottle-feed their infants in tranquil, contemplative surroundings. With wide open floor spaces, welcoming gallery attendants, and interactive activity kits designed to keep little hands constructively engaged, RISD Museum delivers an unmatched cultural experience that appeals equally to toddlers, elementary-age artists, and grown-ups. Parents will also appreciate convenient nearby parking, accessible elevators, barrier-free pathways, clean facilities, and friendly staff members dedicated to ensuring a delightful, stress-free outing for families with infants, toddlers, and young children.
