Virginia Living Museum: Chesapeake Bay Discovery Center and Virginia’s Coastal Plain

The Virginia Living Museum reminds me very much of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, where the focus is on the natural world specific to the state. Like NCMNS, the VLM divides its exhibits into ecosystems found in Virginia, from the coast all the way up into the Appalachian Mountains, and the incredible wealth of biodiversity found between them.

I’ve started this collection off with the Chesapeak Bay and Coastal Plain, and will work my way into the Mountains next week. If you ever want to be enchanted by the world of life in your own local, find a museum like one of these to peruse.
