The VMFA has continued to impress me over the past few years with the variety of genres and mediums on display. I am by no means a seasoned art critique, but do appreciate learning and being exposed to new experiences. To begin with, the VMFA has a wonderful covered parking garage available if you don't like street parking. The cost... More

the VMFA ROCKS! The special exhibits that I have enjoyed include Picasso, Maharajah, Tiffany, Elvis, and of course Chihuly! I always start with the American Collection and the very contemporary and then wander off to an area that I haven't seen before. I wish I lived closer because I would really like to spend more time wandering through the different... More

Thanks to trip advisor for having this attraction on the top of the list. We had half a day on our way to mebane and so we went in and were happily surprised by the excellent way the authorities have curated and displayed the pieces. They have recently added a new wing and have connected it in a seamless way... More

Wow, such treasures here. Very unexpected. Well worth a few hours. A very full collection of art from many periods.

I LOVE this museum. I seem to be there on a bi-weekly basis for either an infant art class, live music, a special exhibit, lunch at Best Cafe or cocktails at Amuse. There's something for everyone!

Like other well chosen and exiting exhibits of the past, is stimulating and plain fun. Not only that, but well planned lectures, discussions, and... More

Previous reviewers have done a good job of praising the attributes of this museum. After my first visit ever recently, I rank it second only to the Metropolitan in NYC among the museums I have visited. I was astounded at the quality of the artifacts from the pre-Columbian North, Central, and South America as well as the wealth of Greek,... More

From Faberge eggs to ultra modern art - to classic - to Egyptian and African - you name it - a good tho brief collection of everything nut just enough to inform, educate but not bore one with too much of one era. They have outstanding visiting art... More
