The Commonwealth of Virginia is blessed with an “uncommon-wealth” of natural wonders, among the most diverse in the country. At the Virginia Living Museum, this natural heritage comes alive. The museum’s living exhibits bring visitors in contact with more habitats, wildlife and plant species than would be encountered in a lifetime of outdoor adventures in Virginia. The exhibits literally go from the upland coves of the Appalachian Mountains to the salty offshore waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
