I've loved this museum since I was a kid living in Norfolk and now enjoy sharing it with my granddaughters. The new Perry Glass studio is the crown jewel of this magnificent museum! Plan your visit around attending one of the glass blowing demos that happen daily at noon. Before Covid, they used to hold wonderful jazz music events after hours in the main building. Many of the events and activities are finally coming back. Be sure to check the events and activities page for their many offerings.
Zinnia Cafe has amazing food! Expect a bit of a wait if you visit at lunch time. It's a popular spot for locals and visitors.
Surprisingly, this museum is kid friendly even with an emphasis on glass. There's a large, interactive children's exhibit near the entrance that my granddaughters adore. There's also a summer camp program.
One of the best parts of visiting the Chrysler is that parking and entry is free!

The Chrysler Museum is truly a hidden gem. It may be on the smaller side, but the collection is surprisingly diverse—ranging from stunning glasswork and classical pieces to thought-provoking contemporary art. The layout is easy to navigate, and every gallery feels thoughtfully curated. It’s the kind of place where you can spend an hour or an afternoon and still walk away feeling enriched.
Be sure to stop by Zinnia while you’re there. It’s the perfect spot for lunch—fresh, flavorful food, a relaxing atmosphere, and a great way to round out your visit. Highly recommend both the museum and the café for a lovely, low-key day out.

Met some friends here last Saturday. There was live Christmas music throughout the day. We opted for a tour with a docent. She was very knowledgeable and gave us highlights of the second floor. We all plan of coming back to go through at a leisurely pace to really take it all in.
