Museums

Many of the museums located on or near the Boulevard in the Region's Fan District are within walking distance of each other. Walk through 400 years of history at the Virginia Historical Society or gaze at the largest public display of Fabergé objects outside of Russia at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. For the young at heart, follow your shadow at the Children's Museum of Richmond's newest exhibit or watch an IMAX film at the neighboring Science Museum of Virginia.

Even if you're not a Civil War buff, a visit to the Richmond Region wouldn't be complete without a tour of the Museum and White House of the Confederacy. Scheduled to open in 2006, the American Civil War Center will be the first museum to interweave the Union, Confederate and African American stories of the Civil War in a national context.
