Help VMHC Give Back this Holiday Season!

Throughout the run of Barbie™: A Cultural Icon, the VMHC is soliciting toy donations to the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU. During all public museum hours, including First Fridays, bring your donations to our drop-off location inside the museum’s main lobby. Details on what items are most needed can be found here – Donate to child life | Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU – but the top priority is that all items must be newly purchased, unused, and in their original packaging.

First Fridays made possible with support from Virginia Renalds Edmunds. I understand that regular photography and filming at the VMHC may incidentally capture my image and that of my guest(s). By accessing the property, I grant the VMHC permission to utilize my (our) image, appearance, and statements in audio, video, or photographic form without further authorization or compensation. I acknowledge that the VMHC owns these images and has the right to share them with media outlets and select partners of their choosing.
