The Virginia Museum of Natural History is a regional museum focused on interpreting Virginia’s natural heritage within a global context. It houses extensive research and a large collections program, with ongoing work in paleontology, invertebrates, archaeology, mammalogy, and geology, while maintaining a geographic emphasis on Virginia and the Southeast. The institution offers educational programming for students, teachers, and the public across the Commonwealth, including in-person experiences and distance learning aligned to state and national standards. Its exhibits range from permanent displays such as Uncovering Virginia and How Nature Works to special installations like the Hahn Hall of Biodiversity and the Fossil Overlook, designed to connect visitors with narratives about Virginia’s natural past and present. Located in Martinsville, Virginia, the museum operates within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector and is affiliated with professional museum networks; it emphasizes education, research, and community impact as part of its mission to interpret natural heritage for residents and visitors alike. A recent development includes the opening of the Jean S. Adams Education Pavilion to expand programming and outdoor visitor spaces. }
