This museum is surrounded by roads of dubious quality and construction was going on in the area…read more The building itself seemed rather tired as well, so perhaps a needed refresh is coming. However, you can't complain too much when it's free. The current facility offers a couple of floors with small but interesting galleries. Some of the exhibitions are in collaboration with VMFA in Richmond. The collections I saw offered a mix of folksy history and contemporary perspectives. There is also a nice view of the valley as this building is on a hill. I received a rather disinterested welcome, and the collections weren't substantial enough to spend even an hour in total for me. I wouldn't come any great distance to see the place, but it seemed to offer some nice educational opportunities for the community and perhaps if renovated and expanded it will become more of a destination for non-locals. I would certainly be happy to see that happen.

I especially enjoyed the Quilt National '19 exhibit. I congratulate each of the quilters on bringing a fresh and novel approach to an old art form.

The photos provided in the listing were intentionally blurred. I was so disappointed when I received the product, nothing like the image. That is why these guys only take cash so you can not dispute them. In addition, they charge an arm and a leg for shipping service. WARNING - you are not getting a deal, you are getting someone else's junk at a high price.
