Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA)

One of my favorite art museums in the South East/Mid Atlantic. Make sure to start on the top floor and work your way down.

Fab place to host events . Lovely grounds, amazing buildings, landscaped grounds. At The Leadership Summit, the Governor, Lt. Gov & Senator have an attentive audience. Great appetizers & cash bar .

With a collection of art spanning 5,000 years, the VMFA is one of the top comprehensive art museums in the US. The museum’s collection includes the largest public collection of Fabergé outside Russia.

The outdoor grounds are fun to explore. Currently the Tibetan exhibit is a fascinating tour of Buddhism as if one was going through the process of enlightenment, it was a great experience.

Must visit. Very well organized museum ; surprisingly eclectic collections. Rodin exhibit excellent. Easy to maneuver through the various collections. Requires two, three days to fully explore.

Their Horseshoe burger was very good. I especially liked the way they seared the outer edge of the burger crisp while leaving the inside of the burger tender.

Solid, century-spanning collection with some surprising & unique modern art pieces mixed in.

The permanent exhibit of Medieval European Art is in a quiet , less traveled corner of the museum . Nonetheless, the objects on display are powerful, substantial and beautiful.

Great collection, unfortunately Picasso’s work wasn’t available when i visited, and free !

If you are here for a special event do make time to walk the galleries , if only for a short while. Special place.

One of the best art nouveau and art Deco exhibits I've ever seen! VMFA is a true treasure.

Free entrance, impressive collection of paintings and sculptures . Very well laid out. Currently hosting an exhibition about Chinese art (not free).

Live Jazz ! always FREE every Thursday night and beautiful flower gardens !

Perfect place to spend a quiet afternoon. Great selection of modern art . And don't miss the art nouveau and deco area!

Students get $10 membership — free parking , free access to special exhibitions , and discounts at everything else!

Parking is $5 but admission is free for the main exhibits . Special exhibits are a separate fee. Before or after your visit, enjoy lunch in nearby Carytown.

In the Medieval/Middle Ages exhibit , I felt a surprising constancy of human endeavor (born or propelled, I think, by faith) that was not belied by the traumas and tribulations of those dark centuries.

Free, unless you want to check out their special exhibit (which you probably will). The in-museum food options are also quite good for the price.

Many people neglect the very real human need to experience beauty. The VMFA has many magnificent collections and the traveling exhibits are often truly amazing. Join today!

Very nice museum and they have special presentations as well . Worth it to go for lunch as well .

Take a glass of wine out on the patio for a more serene happy hour on Thursdays and Fridays when the museum is open until 9pm.

In1919, Judge John Barton Payne, a prominent Virginian who held high offices in law and national politics, donated his entire collection of 50 paintings . VMFA did not open until 1936.

Short drive from downtown. Great change of pace to eat at the Cafe to have lunch with friends or co-workers. Marsha Sompayrac Read more

Great art programs! M. Lit is amazing as well as their summer programs. Huge selection of art ! You could get lost in there.

It's worth a visit if you're in Richmond. Beautiful building with lovely exhibits .

Public museum with a wide array of art from ancient to postmodern. Architecturally quite impressive mix of old and new.

Very large of different period of art ! Free all the time. Excellent way to spend the afternoon!

One of the best museums I have ever visited. Incredible display of art nouveau and art deco .

So peaceful ! Grab a cup of coffee at BEST cafe and then head to the East Asian Wing...

The exhibit and the restaurant were great the special and the waiter made our day

Free admission . Amazing exhibits . The Forbidden City exhibit was well worth it.

The place is outstanding ???????? you must go there whenever you're in town

Make sure if visiting with children you visit the art education wing. They have hands on for the children.

Free museum with special exhibits you pay for. Saw Rodin using our NYC Met membership. Need to spend more time.

See the five Imperial Fabergé eggs here, the largest collection of Fabergé eggs outside of Russia!

Excellent collection of furniture , jewelry and accessories from the turn of the century on the third floor. (Definitely go if you love Art Nouveau!)

Your best deal is a membership. The Best Cafe is an inexpensive place to go for Friday Art and Wine as well as VMFA after Dark

If you're a student, make sure you get a membership. It's only $10 a year, and it will usually get you free admission into special exhibits that cost just as much.

Definitely check out the 20th and 21st century section of the museum . It has a great variety of different types of arts .

Wish we could have seen everything! The Egyptian and Roman jewelry was amazing.
