Chrysler Museum of Art

Description

The Chrysler Museum of Art combines one of America's great fine arts museums and two significant historic houses.

Founded in 1939 as the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences, the Museum experienced fast growth in 1971 when automobile heir and art collector Walter P. Chrysler, Jr. presented the city of Norfolk with his collection. Since Chrysler's death in 1989 the Museum has continued to grow and expand, building on his legacy with regular additions to its holdings.
