Arts & Culture
The Rhode Island School of Design actually fronts the city's most expansive art museum. Their collection covers ancient to present-day objects and art, with an emphasis on manufacturing cultures (the museum was originally started to engage the children of PVD's working-class and affirm the value of their families' labor).
