After two years of renovation, the Virginia Museum of History & Culture welcomed visitors back to walk through its grand two-story entrance atrium, explore its renovated classics, check out its new exhibits, and even enjoy some food truck action outside to celebrate its monumental reopening earlier this month.


The "$30+ million renovation and expansion transforming nearly two-thirds of the 250,000-square-foot building" is the most-extensive transformation the museum's been through in its nearly 200-year history, according to the VMHC's website.


Retex's Josh & Katelyn Lewis got to explore the VMHC during its grand reopening on Saturday, May 14 – here are some of the photos captured during their visit.


We love getting to know our Richmond community and state history better, and we highly recommend the VMHC to anyone in town – it's a really impressive, thorough, and engaging museum with more information, artifacts, and interactive experiences than you can fit into just one visit.
