Hampton University Museum

The museum has a really amazing collection of pieces from across sub-Saharan Africa, and an interesting collection from mostly Plains tribes. The African collection in particular is fascinating since it seems to be drawn from materials that were donated by their original owners, which is good considering how many African artifacts were taken/stolen/pillaged in the 19th and 20th century. In addition there are new gallery spaces with African+American artists, while the Museum won't take too long it is definitely worth a visit.

A beautiful campus. The museum is first rate. The collection of art is varied and vibrant. A very unique experience you can't miss if you are in the area. I didn't even realize what Hampton University really was, we were just scouting with a rental car where to anchor our boat next, and once I realized the History of the college I had to go to to museum! Just a great day, one of many on our journey to sail Dragon's Lair from Florida to Wisconsin.

The Hampton University art Museum is very well worth visiting. They have a fine collection of art and there is no admission fee call ahead to make sure they are open.
