The Chysler Museum of Art

The Chrysler Museum of Art is an art museum on the border between downtown and the Ghent district of Norfolk, Virginia. The museum was founded in 1933 as the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences. In 1971, automotive heir, Walter P. Chrysler Jr. (whose wife, Jean Outland Chrysler, was a native of Norfolk), donated most of his extensive collection to the museum. This single gift significantly expanded the museum's collection, making it one of the major art museums in the Southeastern United States.
Kept and maintained through a series of holding companies by the Keeper of Elysium Richard McDonald the museum hosts all of the major social events for the Kindred of the Hampton Downs.

The basements are rumoured to be honeycombed with escape tunnels created by the only slightly paranoid Richard McDonald

History

The museum's main building underwent expansion and renovation and reopened on May 10, 2014. During the renovation, the Glass Studio and the Moses Myers House remained open and art was displayed at venues throughout the community.[1][2] The museum's grand reopening included the Rubber Duck floating sculpture from May 17–26, 2014. The museum originally had a courtyard, but during renovations in the 1980s, the courtyard was enclosed, creating Huber Court. Concerts and events are held in Huber Court.

The Chrysler Museum exists to enrich and transform lives. We bring art and people together through experiences that delight, inform, and inspire.
