Hands down the best art museum I’ve ever been to! Amazing art and nice calm atmosphere. Drove over an hour to see it and it was well worth the drive. I highly recommend seeing it if you have some free time in the area. I even bought some stunning art from their gift shop!
This is such a nice art museum! The museum features many different exhibits. I love that they feature local artists, as well. RAM is an easy to get to, much parking, and flows well as you view the fabulous art! I will continue to visit there, as well as take friends there for the amazing experience! Awesome that it is FREE admission. You can always make a donation if you like! Thank you RAM for your lovely, knowledgeable staff, and such a great experience each time I visit!
I had the pleasure of spending a culturally enriching day in Fort Smith, as I reside in a neighboring town, and it was truly a delight to immerse myself in the rich heritage of the area.
