OverviewThe Museum
The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley museum campus takes its name from this impressive structure designed by Michael Graves & Associates. The museum houses four major gallery spaces, including the Shenandoah Valley Gallery, where objects, state-of-the-art multi-media presentations, and dioramas help Valley history come alive. In addition to its collection of Valley objects, the museum showcases two outstanding Valley collections. The Julian Wood Glass Jr. Gallery presents fine art and antiques, including paintings by such names as John Constable, Thomas Gainsborough, and James Whistler. More than fifty artists are represented in this collection. Equally fascinating is the R. Lee Taylor Miniatures Gallery of exactly furnished miniature rooms and houses. The work of more than seventy miniatures artisans is presented in this collection that charms adults and children alike. The Changing Exhibition Gallery presents a new exhibition every three to six months. British Paintings from the Berger Collection, an exhibition of 34 extraordinary paintings from one of the most important collections of British Art in the United States, will be on display in this gallery from May 18 through August 31, 2008.
