The Virginia Museum of History & Culture is a private, non-profit institution owned and operated by the Virginia Historical Society, which was established in 1831. It functions as Virginia’s state history museum and houses a renowned research library, preserving a collection of nearly nine million items that represent the state’s evolving story. Located in Richmond’s Museum District, the institution runs galleries and a museum shop for visitors. Serving a broad audience that includes the general public, researchers, and educational institutions, it provides access to Virginia’s history and scholarly resources. It sits within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector and stands as one of Virginia’s oldest cultural organizations. A recent development includes a 2024 collaboration with the Bray School Lab at William & Mary and Rosenwald school community groups to curate a section of an exhibition on the history of Rosenwald schools in Virginia.
