Chihuly at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
Join the Lifelong Learning Program at Shepherd University for a day in Richmond, Virginia, at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. We will travel by bus, provided by Detailed Destinations, to Richmond. The visit will include a tour of Chihuly at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, a major exhibition of work by internationally renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly, and lunch at one of Richmond's finest restaurants Amuse. This exhibit is Chihuly's third major U.S. museum exhibition in recent years. Chihuly is credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the medium of glass from the realm of craft to fine art. There will be time to see some of the museum's other fine exhibits on your own or visit one of the finest museum shops in the country featuring original creations. The Lifelong Learning Program at Shepherd is dedicated to meeting the interests of the mature members of our community who wish to engage in stimulating, fun discussions and activities in an academic setting.
