Riverside Art Museum

Very cool. Nice building. Multiple, large spaces. Great exhibits, from photographs to interactive installations. The museum gift store is worth the visit. I purchased a rooster finger puppet just for fun. Complimentary admission on the first Sundays of the month. It's worth the drive to Riverside.

I've been to RAM three or four times and it's always a pleasure. You get free admission when you purchase a ticket for Cheech Marin's museum. My favorite exhibits this time were The Human Interaction is a Beautiful Thing, Invisible Threads, The Pleasure of Being Wrong, and James Baldwin. All were interesting and thought-provoking.

I came here with my little family, taking advantage of the FREE FIRST SUNDAYS admission. This museum is housed in an older builder. They have ramp access for strollers toward the sides and you have to press a button to be buzzed in. The space is a bit more cramped if you're comparing it to The Cheech next door. But, it is enough space for a single stroller. The mood and vibe of this place is a bit more "serious", it has more sculptures than painting when we went, and if you have little ones, you'd need to watch them. There are security guards in the area which will remind you if the little ones are running around. There is also a gift shop and a cool Atrium space in the middle. When we visited, there was a demonstration on puppets for the little ones. Overall such a lovely venue!To the exhibits - the Sacred Space arts and sculptures on the second floor is really neat. I really enjoyed my time there! There are cool paintings, vases, and tables with their geometric shapes and colors. I love exposing my family and myself to new things. We definitely learn a thing or two visiting museum like this one.

Beautiful building and atrium. The building itself is an art piece.This museum features local artists. We enjoy especially different pieces from Charles Bibbs. So exquisite and powerful. High recommended.The museum entrance fee also gives the admission to The Cheech, a collection of Chicano arts.We enjoyed our visit.

This was a cool find. I had an appointment in downtown Riverside at a nearby venue. I just happened to park in front of the art museum. They were a special New Year's/ Yuletide event. I was informed that the first of every Sunday they have a special event open to the public. They had like performances, photo opportunities, and free food.Of course, this is an art museum , and services are guaranteed and every event, but it was a lovely experience it was just one time. As a huge fan of the inland Empire, I'm glad that this creative space has graced the City Of riverside.

Its merger/partnership with the Cheech space is definitely a plus. they had multiple installations that were interesting and the architecture there is incredible. Apparently it's an old YW or YMCA.

This place is beautiful! Architecture is amazing! There is plenty of parking lots in the area that are contactless so that's a plus. It is in the heart of downtown so anywhere you park, you will still be able to explore. The museum itself is pretty small. It is two stories and the entrance is great. You walk into a succulent courtyard. Very Spanishesque!!!! There's some pretty cool paintings and artwork here. Definitely a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. You are able to do an audio tour when you walk around to get a little more information on the artist and their work. Pretty cool stuff. I will def be back to bring friends!!!!

A different type of venue, on a different day of the week, Tuesday, for a wedding. So if you're looking for a different type of venue for your nuptials try the Riverside Art Museum, in downtown Riverside. Just a short distance from the world famous Riverside Mission Inn.This was the choice for my wife's first cousin and his bride. Decent space for the ceremony, surrounded by modern artwork. Maybe room for you and, say, about 100 guests. Beautiful rooftop reception area. It was a lovely evening, the culmination of their 7 years together.

Like virtually all art museums are, this is a great location to see a vast selection of the various presentations of art. Located near the freeway, in the heart of downtown Riverside, this art museum is easy to find. There is plenty of street and parking lot parking in the area, so this should never be an issue.One of the great things about Riverside Art Museum is that it is located in this old, house-like structure. Inside, you really feel like you are in someone's home. Just inside the main entry area, there is an enclosed patio area, covered by a glass ceiling. They have a few seats and tables in this room. It's a nice place to sit back and take a breath before or after you explore the museum.This is multi floored structure. Each floor offers a unique and ever-changing array of art. So, you will always find nice and inspirational art to view.Overall, great place!

This museum is in downtown and neighbors the other two museums. The two-story building is absolutely STUNNING. Designed by Julia Morgan. The venue is rented out for weddings (excellent background for photos).There is a gift shop to the left of the entrance. There is a area where one can doodle upstairs.The current exhibit, (in)visible threads was a treat to view.
