Description

Home for the Museum since 1916, the Griswold House is a National Historic Landmark and an Official Project of Save America’s Treasures. Designed in 1862 by famed architect Richard Morris Hunt.  He then went on to design many of the grand cottages of Newport’s Gilded Age, including The Breakers, Marble House, and Ochre Court.



The Griswold House currently houses restored rooms, galleries, a children’s art classroom, administrative offices, a lecture hall, the Griffon Shop and the Museum Store. The surrounding park and sculpture garden is used for many outdoor programs during the summer months.



The Museum’s collections and exhibitions focus on the visual artists of Newport and southeastern New England, reflecting both the rich heritage of the past and the lively art scene of the present.



This certificate is for four adults and four children…enough for family and friends! Enjoy this beautiful historic building and the art treasures within its galleries.
