Themed Thursdays

Engage your senses at this interactive touch station with materials used in cultures around the world. Visitors are invited to touch, examine, and compare natural and handmade materials, with a special focus on international textiles, spices, and fibers. After exploring these materials, see the exhibit, We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth, to learn more about individuals and communities that have made Virginia home.
