Strawberry Fields
a year agoGreat place to spend an afternoon. When we visited, we enjoyed an exhibit that had school-aged kiddos' work on display (Included our favorite pieces in my attached pics). The other exhibits were interesting. They were mainly focused on climate changes and the environment. The museum is large and also has a theater within it where I watched a commentary about the pieces on display. They also sell food and beverages which are not permitted in the exhibits.

8 months agoI was there for a fun time, but not a long time. I wanted to take the kiddos out for a spell just to get out of the house. Even though the weather was less than optimal, I am glad we were able to get out and explore the VMOCA. Great little gift shop, great exhibits, and the ArtLab is always a treat! To make life easier for everyone I recommend reserving tickets online. There was no charge as I am a Virginia resident. Parking was ample and it's in a quiet area. No complaints!

a month agoWas allot of fun. My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed the majestic and beauty of the art represented here. They even have a class were you can create clay pottery. We will definitely be back, hopefully before they move locations.

a year agoVery nice place to go and has interactive activities for children. I thought it was a very cute place to go especially for relaxing. It was free for us to go in since the Virginia Beach City pays for this place to stay open and up. It’s a small but good Museum for your day on vacation when you want to relax and just enjoy art and what it offers to your mind. It had different types of art too, painting, prints, sculpture, and videos! All loved and appreciated. They also have a cute gift shop full of books and stickers! Very nice place and would come back again one day in the future.

a year agoA lovely collection of contemporary art, including local artists. I’ll keep this on my “must see” list for future visits to VB. Easy parking, free entry, and friendly staff and volunteers. Photography (no flash) is allowed. The space was bright and airy and felt much larger that it looked from the exterior. I loved the benches and chairs tucked here and there, great spaces to enjoy the exhibits or sit with your sketch pad and create. The museum is the anchor to the ViBe Creative District.
