Reviews of Racine Art Museum (Museum)

James Reickel

Amazing to have a quality museum right on the downtown strip

Melanie johnson

Small museum, but really neat shows.

A couple of very special exhibits, a huge collection of tea pots and an extensive gift shop.

Not too much to see

The Racine Art Museum (RAM) is a beautiful small museum in downtown Racine.........a 30 minute drive from the Milwaukee airport.........the same distance from Chicago's Northern Suburbs as a drive to the Chicago Art Institute on a weekend day. The focus is the Studio Craft Movement..........art made from glass, clay, fibers and metals (think jewelry) and RAM is the best and most important of this kind in the USA....possibly anywhere. Check the website, see what shows are up and go for a visit. Not to forget, a great retail operation as well.

Eeowyn McLaren

Mostly modern art of you're into that...very quiet place to go stroll around.

Janet Falk

The best fine craft museum in the midwest. Yes, I guess I'm bragging. I've been a RAM member for a number of years. I enjoyed their fine polymer show several years ago. They always have interesting multiple exhibits. And now free first Fridays usually with activitiesfor the kids. AND, don't miss the spring PEEPS art show. It's wonderful to see what artists, kids, and groups come up with using many colors of the marshmallow Peeps. Anyone can enter, but limited engagement due to their limited shelf life especially if painted. Lol.

Fun place to visit

Caiden Oconnell

As a lifelong Racine native, I love having little treasures right in our own backyard. I loved their recent Enamels and Goblets exhibits.

The Skrauss

They had a pretty good book sale. Two dollars per book.

Jerry Perkins

Tiny, butt very enjoyable. Super friendly staff and amazballs art. I was lucky enough to catch the annual "peep show." All original art using peeps marshmallows. If you can, check it out. Well worth the $5.00

Peg Clark

Oh so small

chris smith

The exhibits at the Racine Art Museum are outstanding!

tim becker

Nice facility, friendly staff, lots of open space with good light on the first floor, great gift store, but where are all the exhibits? Disappointed in the limited displays. There seemed to be room for more exhibits. If this is one of the largest collections of arts and crafts most of it must be in storage in a large warehouse.

When you join you also get reciprocal benefits at other art museums around the country. Always great items on display here and at Wustum.

ashlee jensen

Very beautiful! Not really little kid friendly and there is an enterence fee.

Bob Sus

Personally I loved it there. All the exhibits are far enough apart that you can take them in individually, and not so far that it seems sparse. I brought my kids (4+8). They thought it was cool but I'd take them to the children's art museum in racine, if we go again soon.

Paul Fervoy

The Racine Art Museum is a work of art in itself, a modern landmark. The unique museum maintains collections of modern art and contemporary crafts. The chair exhibit was fantastic! I highly recommend a stop over whether en route to or from Milwaukee or Chicago.

Linda Evans

Amazing contemporary Museum. Easy to access and enjoy. Very interesting gift shop.

Roberto Flores

Small museum, mainly arts and craft stuff

Rollie Littlewood

We went to see the Peeps show. It was well done and fun.

Pete Wahlen

Nice find in Racine.

AJ Williams

They do cool activities for kids. I don't find the collections interesting but I am not super into art museums so it would be hard to impress me.

Justin Wheeler

A really nice museum for Racine, you'll get about an hours worth of enjoyment out of it.

patricia gunia

Great pottery and exhibits my grandkids loved the earthenware and use what you have art work.

Narine Harut

Beautiful Art Museum, not too big but nice collection, great gift shop, great customer service, very friendly and informative.

Sara Hadwiger

It's a nice little museum. Good to visit on quiet days. Most of the collection seems to have come from a single donor. Maybe in the future they'll add in more local or locally restored art.

Joshua Carlson

I'm always blown away by the caliber of the exhibits for such a small admission charge. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the store is just fantastic! RAM is honestly one of my favorite things about downtown Racine.

Coco Kalin

Always an interesting variety of artists. Also a great gift shop.

Susan Pritchard

I really enjoy seeing the different exhibits. I go about once or twice a year and each time I see something different.

Amanda Zei

Sad they charge nothing really to see. Lot of empty wasted space.

Gayle Keck

I haven't actually toured the museum, which looks quite nice - but visited the museum shop. It is beautifully stocked with contemporary craft jewelry, ceramics and other quality, hand-crafted items. There are also books and cards, plus knick-knacks, like clever napkins, tableware and scarves. The store's buyer obviously has a great eye and an excellent list of artisans - both local and farther afield. Well worth a stop!

Austin Holik

Very unique collection of paintings, photographs, ceramic, and jewelery art. Well curated. Gift shop was also unique. I spent about two hours there. Street parking was free and very easy. There is also a parking garage nearby.

Matt Binetti

Five stars for an inspiring and fun visit to RAM. The wife and I visited right before Christmas and we were treated to a wide variety of surprises: festive holiday decor, an incredible glass exhibit, a found / recycled materials exhibit, repurposed wood / furniture, textiles, household crafts, et cetera. The list goes on. Local and global artists alike. And all in a beautiful space and in a beautiful location along Lake Michigan in downtown Racine. Wustum Art Museum (free admission) is in another part of town and also worth checking out. Check ahead of time for hours and for the hours of other nearby attractions so that your day goes smooth. RAM admission: Adults - $5 Seniors (over age 62) - $3 Students - $3 Under 12 - Free (with adult - maximum of 3) Members - FREE

Jaz Last

The gift shop had more items than the actual museum. The exhibits were nice and fun, but it felt I paid too much for what is easily a thirty minute trip.

Raphael Bencriscutto

Nice location

Rebecca Sikora

We took our grandkids to see the Peeps exhibit. It was awesome. The creativity was off the chart. Of course, everyone voted for their favorite.

Wendy Mooney

Very quiet nice place to study but very rude staff. They treat you like you they are better than you.

Cindy Brinkman

Fabulous. Best ever. Wonderful. Inspirational. Doable. Crafty. Great giftshop!
