More information on Newport Art Museum (The)

Across the avenue from Touro Park, this was the first Newport commission of Richard Morris Hunt, who went on to design many of the cottages along Bellevue Avenue. Unlike most of his later Newport houses, the 1862 main structure is in the Victorian stick style, a wood construction that had origins in earlier Carpenter Gothic. It now mounts art exhibitions and serves as a venue for concerts. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
