This is one of my favorite places in Richmond. Not only the exhibits but also the cafe, restaurant, the outdoor area, and gift shop are a great way to spend the day. Full review by abcmmyrae

This museum was such a welcome surprise! I couldn't believe the quality and variety of art - from Dali to hieroglyphics from BC era. It was free as well! I would absolutely visit again in the future. Full review by aavct90
