VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, RICHMOND Monday, October 3 from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
 
There are a few spots left for this trip! Sign up in the Resident Business Center. Please note, 10 spots are reserved for GHA residents; do not write in those blocked-off areas.
 
On Monday October 3 we’ll head to Richmond and its acclaimed Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, our first day-long motorcoach trip since the onset of Covid. VMFA’s  50,000-work collections represent almost every world culture and era, from ancient to contemporary, and include all periods of American Art, Art Nouveau and Art Deco,  East Asian and Himalayan Art, Faberge Decorative Arts, and British Silver. The recently reopened Mellon Galleries feature Impressionist, Post Impressionist and British Sporting Art. The temporary exhibit Spirits highlights the work of Tibetan Buddhist artist Tsherin Sherpa.
 
Our 50-passenger motor coach will depart GHBC at 8:00 a.m. on October 3 and arrive at the museum by 10:30 a.m. Lunch will be on our own at either the casual Best Cafe or the more formal Amuse restaurant. There will be no guided tours, but museum maps and literature will be provided, allowing us to visit the galleries in whatever order and speed we prefer. There are several comfortable lounging areas. For those wishing to leave the museum building, its campus also contains a sculpture garden, the Civil War Confederate Chapel, the historic Robinson House, and the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. Departure from the VMFA will be at 2:00 p.m. Cost of the trip, excluding lunch, is $50.00.  For more information please contact Susan Kilpatrick at ext. 3144 or Jane Coughran at ext. 7450.
