Richmond art museum brings historic pieces across Virginia
The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) brought its traveling "Artmobile" exhibit to Harrisonburg, Virginia, as part of a statewide tour celebrating America's 250th anniversary. The mobile exhibit, housed in a semitrailer, featured historic paintings, photographs, and engravings depicting major events in American history, including the founding of the nation, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights movement. The free exhibit visited downtown Harrisonburg on Friday and Saturday, drawing local visitors who appreciated the opportunity to see pieces from the Richmond-based museum's collection without traveling to the capital.
