Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk

I love this art museum so much! It's free to go, though they do have a donation box where you can help out if you are able, so it's a super accessible place for a day out. It's sort of a medium sized museum, where you could see all that they have in a day, if you had a large chunk of time to do it and the desire to spend the time. They have a lot of different kinds of collections, ranging from ancient to modern art and have special exhibits that they'll have for a few months at a time. They also have a very large blown glass collection, as they have a studio and glass blowing classes right next door. They even have a little cafe that looks really nice, though I admit I haven't eaten there, yet. The staff here are also very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Guided tours are also offered here, if that's something you're looking for, though I usually just walk through on my own. I will definitely continue to spend time here and enjoy the beautiful art!

When I moved to Norfolk from New York I had no idea that there would be a museum here that would have world renowned painters, and even a mummy casket. It's a beautiful venue. At the store you see a gorgeous statue of a man on a horse helping someone else. The neighborhood has Victorian homes. Just a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I've been there many times and I watched their calendar to see the upcoming exhibits.
