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!

VMFA is an experience worthy of keeping in your come back list. Located in 200 N.

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

We wish we were... More
