About Newport Art Museum

The museum traces its roots to 1912 and runs galleries across a small arts campus on Bellevue Avenue. Its holdings center on American and contemporary art, and it also offers classes, workshops, and public programs. Visitors can see the Griswold House, a historic 19th-century building designed by Richard Morris Hunt, which the museum has operated as a gallery.
