Welcome to the Virginia Living Museum
Protect What’s Precious
View endangered red wolves. Get up close to a loggerhead turtle and moon jellies. See fish with no eyes and frogs that change colors. Touch live horseshoe crabs and fossilized dinosaur tracks. It’s all at the Virginia Living Museum, Newport News, where living exhibits depict Virginia’s natural heritage from the mountains to the sea. Visitors experience animals native to Virginia in habitats, discovery centers and interactive exhibits. The Virginia Living Museum showcases Virginia’s natural and living resources to encourage understanding and protection of our natural world.
Traveling exhibits for 2016, the year we celebrate our 50th Anniversary year will be amazing! First up, “BIG BUGS” fill the gallery December 31, 2015 – April, 17. 2016. In the spirit of Dinosaurs, explore large scale robotic bugs including the Madagascan Sunset Moth, Bombardier Beetle, Dragonfly, Stag Beetle, Orb-Web Spider and more!
