Welcome to the Virginia Living Museum
Virginia’s Animal Attraction & Dino Destination
The Virginia Living Museum is a successful public-private partnership, since 1966, between the City of Newport News and the Virginia Living Museum, a 501 (c)(3) organization. Together we connect people to nature through educational experiences that promote conservation.
BUILT by the Community, BELOVED by the Community and SUSTAINED by the Community, the Museum depends on private donations to succeed. We appreciate your financial contribution to support engaging education, animal welfare and conservation experiences for you and your family. Please consider a gift to our Annual Fund or a planned gift to our Endowment for future sustainability.

Rushing out of work because it's #friyay 🎉
This tomato clownfish is rushing out of a Bubbletip anenome. This species of sea anenome often host clownfish, but to others can be aggressive carnivores that will sting and capture small prey that comes within reach.
Took this one of your adorable ray while we enjoyed another trip to VLM! 💙
