Well-curated exhibits. Lucky to have RAM so close by.

Surprisingly fun!!! A real treasure! I didn’t expect such a nice museum. A fantastic gift shop. I live in Chicago and the Art Institute is too big to have such good small exhibits. These people obviously know what other museums can’t do well and have made it a speciality. The way it was displayed was very professional. I love to visit gift shops to find unique finds. This shop has them all beat! They offer actual art! Think of it! They had a book on the exhibit. Most places can’t even cough up a post card. They even had used books for $2. I am very impressed!

Just stopped in Racine to have lunch with someone and realized I hadn't been to the Racine Art Museum. What a treat, I happened to visit on a great day. The second floor renovation was done and the current fabrics exhibit up there by Randall Darwall was fabulous. There was also beautiful jewelry and a ceramics exhibit along with a few other items. The space the museum occupies is 100% part of the experience. The building really lends itself to the art and helps provide exactly the right mood, tone and setting to enjoy whatever you are viewing. The gift shop for any art museum fan is like the cherry on top. I know while I'm strolling through enjoying all a museum has to offer in the back of my mind I'm wondering what the gift shop may have. The gift shop at RAM does not disappoint. They have an exquisite display which was carefully thought out and many items to choose from. Racine is not too far from where I live and a bonus to traveling there, you can hit up O & H Bakery on your way home for some kringle. That's a different review though 😁 If you haven't been to RAM and have put it off, delay no longer. The staff is wonderful and so helpful. The price is right and you can take anyone, it's just the right size a museum. It's not too big and not too small. Depending on your interest in the current exhibit you could walk through in an hour or hour and a half. They have elevators for anyone who can't stairs climb and restrooms and plenty of chairs for those who may need to rest a minute.

Excellent collection of contemporary crafts in 5 galleries. Pieces on display rotate frequently. The museum is open only 4 hours (4 days a week) which is long enough as it probably won’t take you 2 hours to see everything. The museum gift shop has a great selection too.
