Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville presents the state’s natural history through fossils, specimens and scientific interpretation.
Its exhibitions connect visible landscapes and wildlife with the research collections used to understand much longer environmental histories.
Check current exhibitions and public hours for the Starling Avenue museum before arriving. The photograph shows the Martinsville building. Research collections and laboratories are separate from ordinary gallery access, and educational programs have their own bookings. Ask about a particular specimen before traveling and allow time for changing displays as well as permanent exhibits.
