Commonwealth of Virginia employees and preschool and K–12 teachers (public and private schools) will receive free admission to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ new exhibition “Samurai Armor from the Collection of Ann & Gabriel Barbier-Mueller.”
Active duty military personnel and their immediate families also will receive free admission to special exhibitions through the museum’s year-round participation in the Blue Star Museums program.
(Guest Commentary) If a recent weekday visit to the exhibition and a "wind-shield" survey of attendance are indicative, the word is out on a visually jaw-dropping, intellectually stimulating and surprisingly moving experience.
