Chrysler Museum of Art
245 West Olney Road
Norfolk, Virginia 23510
757-664-6200
The Chrysler Museum of Art combines, under a single administrative umbrella, one of America's great fine arts museums and two significant historic houses.
In addition to maintaining a distinguished permanent collection, the Chrysler offers a comprehensive program of changing exhibitions and education activities
for visitors of all ages. Our goal is to bring people and original works of art together. We believe that a visit to a museum should be both educational, providing visitors with a chance to learn more about themselves and their world, and fun.

Founded in 1939 as the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences, the Museum experienced explosive 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.

Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts
Suffolk, Virginia
757-923-0003
Box office: 757-923-2900
Suffolk High School, built in 1922, served as a beloved place of gathering and learning for thousands of students, parents, teachers, administrators and many others, until its doors were closed in 1990. The building's halls still seem to resound with 70 years of youthful excitement and potential. The old slate stairs were lovingly worn with the buoyant steps of all those who had passed through this magnificent building. Through the years Suffolk High School had seen many great changes, but an ingenious metamorphosis was on the horizon.

In 1998 a task force was appointed to develop a plan for the grand old school building. The result? A transformation of Suffolk High School into the
area's only full-service cultural arts center, the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts! Groundbreaking took place in August 2004, and after much hard work, the Center was completed the summer of 2006. We invite you to share the excitement of our second season. Experience world class performances as actors, entertainers, musicians and dancers grace our stage. Witness the mastery of visual artists in our gallery space. Learning something new, participate in a variety of art classes, involve your children, meet friends for lunch or dinner or host a party, or even a banquet! Join us as we celebrate the cultural arts in Suffolk. Come...make new memories with us.
