Unique contemporary art. Big enough to enlighten the senses but small enough to not overload them

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.

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.

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 Id take them to the childrens art museum in racine, if we go again soon.

I havent 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 stores buyer obviously has a great eye and an excellent list of artisans - both local and farther afield. Well worth a stop!

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.

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

Its 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 theyll add in more local or locally restored art.

The best fine craft museum in the midwest. Yes, I guess Im bragging. Ive 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, dont miss the spring PEEPS art show. Its 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.

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 Chicagos 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.

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.

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 - $5Seniors (over age 62) - $3Students - $3Under 12 - Free (with adult - maximum of 3)Members - FREE
