Virginia Living Museum
Newport News is not short of museums and the Virginia Living Museum is one of the most popular in the city. This is an outdoor living museum so it’s essentially a cross between botanical gardens, a wildlife park, an aquarium, a science museum and a planetarium, providing some elements of all of these. This makes the Virginia Living Museum popular with visitors of all ages as there are so many different aspects to it. The Mariners’ Museum The Mariners’ Museum is another popular Newport News museum and it is said to be one of the largest and most comprehensive maritime history museums in the world. There are about 35,000 artefacts here from maritime history, and not just local, many are international. There are miniature model ships, figureheads, engines, artwork and more to see. Virginia War Museum Located in Huntington Park in Newport News is the Virginia War Museum which focuses on military history from 1775 to the present day. There are weapons, transportation, uniforms and more, and even a piece of the Berlin Wall. If the US Army interests you then you might also like to spend some time at the US Army Transportation Museum which is also located in Newport News. This has a far more extensive collection of military transportation that is set across a large indoor exhibition and four outdoor spaces consisting of exhibits from the 18th to the 20th century and including a large Vietnam War exhibit and World War 2 exhibit. The Peninsula Fine Arts Center For a change of theme visit the Peninsula Fine Arts Center, an art museum in Newport News. This is located close by to the Mariners’ Museum and has both temporary and permanent exhibits. The ‘Hands on For Kids’ permanent gallery is popular with families and children as it offers an interactive zone where you can get creative. Newport News Park When visiting Newport News you should take advantage of one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. Newport News Park covers an amazing 8000 acres and is a great place to get away from it all. This huge park includes many outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, and bicycling trails across woods, meadows and swamps. There are also canoes and paddleboats available for hire and campsites to use. |
