Plan Your Visit

Racine Art Museum (RAM) is home to the largest contemporary craft collection in North America. RAM and RAM’s Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts (Wustum) are located in Racine, Wisconsin, a historic community on the shores of Lake Michigan. The museum’s national reputation is built on its collection of contemporary craft, its award-winning architecture, and its nationally recognized exhibition program. Wustum proudly offers several award-winning outreach programs as well as one of the largest studio art programs of any museum in Wisconsin.

RAM is a proud member of Wisconsin Art Destinations, a first-of-its-kind assembly of 16 art museums working together to raise the profile of the state as a destination for the visual arts by inviting visitors and neighbors of all backgrounds, inclinations, and levels of interest in art to explore and experience Wisconsin’s art museums and surrounding areas.
