“Ways of Looking” is a pair of introductory galleries designed to transform how visitors enter and experience the museum. Rather than functioning as a traditional orientation space, “Ways of Looking” presents the RISD Museum Way, the museum’s distinctive framework for engaging with art through four lenses: process, meanings, origins, and connections. The galleries serve as both welcome and provocation, offering visitors practical tools while inviting them to question, interpret, and participate.
“We believe museums should make their thinking visible,” said Tsugumi Maki, Museum Director. “’Ways of Looking’ shares the framework we use as an institution and invites visitors into that process. It positions them not as passive viewers, but as active participants in making meaning.”
