Richmond area museums’ online resources enrich and educate

Most all museums in Richmond are currently closed but that should not be a barrier to access these cultural attractions and their educational and artistic resources. University of Richmond staffers Angela Leeper, Director of Curriculum Materials Center, and her assistant Dianna Barron, compiled a list of online Richmond resources for parents and others to enrich their mind and pass the time including a listing of Richmond area museums with online resources anyone can access.

We may not be able to access the Science Museum of Virginia right now but there’s plenty to access and learn from online at their website.
