In May 2022 the Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC) will re-open after the most extensive and transformative renovation in its nearly 200-year history. Renewed and reinvigorated, the VMHC will offer a dramatically expanded, welcoming and innovative museum experience for all visitors to engage with a shared past and the stories that connect Virginians and Americans. Through its nationally significant collection of more than 9 million objects, renowned research library, galleries and public programs, the VMHC is committed to serving and authentically reflecting all Virginians and demonstrating the centrality of Virginia to the narrative of the United States.
In early 2022 the museum will release details of its grand re-opening plans, which will include a series of preview events in early May, followed by a full public opening celebration with live music, free admission and family activities the weekend of May 14 and 15, 2022.
