Virginia Living Museum

The Virginia Living Museum inspires people to value and protect the natural world through immersive living exhibits and dynamic family experiences. Our vision is to be the most impactful discovery institution in Virginia - where science education, conservation, and curiosity come to life.

Home to hundreds of native species of Virginia plants and animals, the Museum connects people with the wildlife and ecosystems found right in their own backyard. From playful river otters and curious bobcats to delicate pollinators and towering forest habitats, every exhibit tells a story about the wild places we share.

Through these educational experiences, the Museum fosters a deeper connection between people and nature, inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards.
