Richmond, VA, USA < change city >

"If you have the time and want to go into Richmond...this was my favorite museum to go to growing up."

"Tuesday–Saturday, 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Sunday, 11:30 a.m.–5 p.m."

"If you're really curious about Virginia history (which stretches to present-day Minnesota,) here's your place. Next door to Virginia Museum of Fine Arts."

"SMV is an outstanding science museum, located in what was a major train station. An especially nifty feature is its very edifice: the glorious old Union Station designed by John Russell Pope. This was almost lost: after a contested rehabilitation fight, workers found marks for "place explosives here" in the Jeffersonian rotunda, which had been slated for destruction. (A sidebar to our more militaristic guests: the satellite campus of SMV near Richmond Airport has one of the only SR-71 Blackbirds on display on the East Coast.)"
