Chrysler Museum of Art

One of the premier art museums in the American South, with significant 18th-century American art collections relevant to the Revolutionary era, including portrait paintings of Virginia's founding generation. The museum's collection of decorative arts from the colonial and Federal periods provides material culture context for understanding what life and commerce looked like in 18th-century Norfolk. The Moses Myers House, which the Chrysler manages, makes the two institutions complementary for understanding Revolutionary-era and early Federal Norfolk.
