VLMuseum

Welcome to the Virginia Living Museum — where the natural wonders of Virginia come to life. Located in Newport News, the VLM is more than just a museum — it’s a living, breathing celebration of native wildlife, ecosystems, and conservation in action. 

What you’ll experience:

Living exhibits & habitats: Walk through immersive environments that reflect Virginia’s diverse landscapes — from cypress swamps and Appalachian coves to underwater scenes of the Chesapeake Bay. 

Native animals up close: See more than 250 species indigenous to Virginia — including endangered red wolves, otters, reptiles, fish with unique adaptations, and more. 

Interactive & hands-on learning: Touch tide pool creatures, explore fossil displays, watch veterinary care in action, and engage in discovery centers that encourage curiosity and connection.
