Barry Art Museum

1075 W. 43rd Street, Norfolk, VA 23529 (757) 683-6200

Barry Art Museum will be closed for renovation from September 2025 until January 2026. 

 

Positioned at the gateway to the University, the Barry Art Museum beckons the campus and the entire community to come inside and see what’s behind its serpentine glass wall. The glass sculpture collection, featuring internationally known makers, enables the University to contribute substantially to the region’s growing reputation as a glass-art center. And on campus, the art museum caps the University’s efforts to create an arts village on the east side of Hampton Boulevard, thus enhancing Norfolk’s efforts to make the city a cultural destination.
