Today we broke ground on the first large-scale expansion of the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg!
This is an exciting moment for all CW lovers and history buffs, as the new wing of the building will add 60,000 square feet, making it possible to have considerably more of our collections on view. When the expansion is complete, new galleries will be designated for an introduction to the Art Museums; folk art; coins, currency and medals; archaeology; musical instruments; costumes; maps, prints and drawings; toys and dollhouses; tools, weapons and scientific instruments; architectural preservation; paintings; silver and metals; and an additional space for changing exhibitions.
