In this series, VMHC staff curate displays featuring some of the museum’s millions of artifacts and manuscripts that are not currently on exhibit. In addition to a themed presentation, guests are led on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the museum’s storage areas to examine the museum’s collection up close while interacting with VMHC staff members.
Pitch Perfect: The History of Music in Virginia
From Patsy Cline to Pharrell, dulcimers to electric guitars, and the Crooked Road to the Bay Shore Hotel, Virginians have used music as a tool for self-expression, love, protest, and resistance for generations. Join us as we explore Virginia's history through a musical lens - focusing on the objects, people, and stories that come together to create Virginia's melodic tapestry.
