The RISD Museum boasts paintings by Manet, Monet, Degas, Cezanne, and Matisse, as well as other masters. There's a good collection of American painting, furniture, costumes, and modern works of art, as well as a collection of more than 80,000 works from Greece and Rome, China and Japan. Of the choicest pieces in this impressive collection, Rodin's famous statue of Balzac ranks high, as does Monet's Bassin d'Argenteuil and the collection of Townsend/Goddard furniture in Pendleton House, the museum's "American wing." For current exhibits, see the RISD Museum website.
