Norfolk's Chrysler Museum of Art




The Chrysler Museum of Art offers so much for art lovers. Personally, we love the stunning Tiffany windows, lamps, and blown glass (they have one of the greatest collections of glass in the nation).

The Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk has a world-class collection of art.But there is so much more at the Chrysler Museum of Art.

This world-class collection offers pieces spanning 4,000+ years. The European collection reflects their major donor's passion for Italian and French painting. Enjoy works by Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Thomas Cole, Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt, and John Singleton Copley. Photography fans will appreciate their History of Photography section.
