Since 1936 · Richmond, Virginia World Collection and Public Museum
The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts connects six millennia of creation, from antiques to contemporary works, in a public museum where collection and education advance together.
Opened in Richmond in 1936, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is both a Virginia state agency and a privately supported institution. Its encyclopedic collection covers more than six thousand years and brings together African arts, from Asia, Europe, the Americas and Antiquity, as well as photography, decorative arts and contemporary creation. Among its renowned ensembles are Fabergé objects, South Asian art and European collections. There selection of reproductions presented here favors several turning points in Western painting: Goya constructs the authority of military portraiture; Géricault and Delacroix give the romantic movement its tension; Monet and van Gogh transform landscape and work through color; Morisot, Cassatt and Sargent reinvent modern life. The breadth of the museum allows us to compare status, gesture, light and gaze without reducing the works to a single school. Exhibitions, research, loans and educational programs extend this public vocation well beyond the galleries of Richmond. The "Virginia Museum of Fine Arts" selection notably compares Portrait of General Nicolas Philippe Guye and Champs de poppies in Giverny. His reading favors the story.
The VMFA makes the encyclopedia a dialogue: works distant by time or geography become neighbors without losing their singularity.
