Our holdings include the largest public collection of Fabergé outside of Russia, the finest collection of Art Nouveau outside of Paris and one of the nation’s finest collections of American art.

VMFA is also home to important collections of Chinese art, English silver, French Impressionism, Post impressionism, British sporting art, and modern and contemporary art, as well as renowned South Asian, Himalayan, and African art.

Recently named the 11th‑best art museum in the United States by The Washington Post, VMFA is the only US art museum open 365 days a year with free general admission.
