Housed in the earliest public Neoclassic building in the U.S., andcontaining Rhode Island’s first art gallery (1875), it has functioned for nearly three-hundred years as Newport’s intellectualcore, a humanities center and civic learning hub styled after ideals of ancient Athenian culture and philosophy.
