Since opening in 1936, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has developed an art collection of global scope and international significance, and it has established a network of partnerships to bring a wide array of exhibitions and programs to audiences throughout the Commonwealth. A distinctive pairing of State support and private funding has made these achievements possible. Now VMFA is poised to play a greater role as a cultural destination and center for visual arts and education in Virginia. As a major museum of world art, the Museum is primed to serve as a catalyst for community interaction and for cultural exchanges nationally and internationally.
