This was a pleasant surprise for us. It is "out of the way" but the location is beautiful and a short, easy drive from downtown Charlottesville. The attendant was engaging and helped our 7 year old son feel welcome. The collection itself is not large but I felt this kept it from being overwhelming and allowed us to really take in what was there. There was a scavenger hunt for my son along with a drawing project which helped keep him engaged while his dad and I looked around. The gift shop is small but tasteful and had items to fit any budget. If you are interested in Art, Anthropology, or Indigenous rights I highly recommend making a visit.
Wonderful, educational cultural experience
You would think that being in relation to Kluge they would've found better pieces of art work. The collection I saw was pretty boring, old, and dusty. The person I saw in there was nice, but it doesn't make up for the driving factor, and the finding the place factor. It should be in a better location with a couple better pieces and not "off the beaten path."
Free to the public , this wonderful museum is probably less noticed than it should be as I just happened to approach the grounds while sight seeing and asked two ladies pleasantly enjoying there afternoon talking in the shade of the grounds about the museum. They advised it was free to public and I should go inside. Inside the door a docent immediately rose to attention and began filling me with detailed information regarding the museums history and offerings. He directed me to comfortably walk thru at my own pace and enjoy the surroundings. The museum was both educational as well as a delightful display of the aboriginal art. The sponsors own the largest collection of aboriginal art.
Ray did a great job explaining everything. We enjoyed looking at all of the artwork and walking around the museum grounds.
