VA250 Mobile Museum Experience

A hands-on, interactive, and immersive “museum on wheels,” the VA250 Mobile Museum Experience titled “Out of Many, One” is housed in a quad-expandable tractor-trailer that is traveling throughout Virginia and beyond. The mobile museum brings key stories of Virginia’s rich history to schools, museums, local events, fairs, and more, highlighting every region of the state.

There is no fee to access the VA250 Mobile Museum Experience. The mobile museum will be open to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday, April 13 through Wednesday, April 15, on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall. Visitors to the museum can pick up a VA250 Passport and use the Mobile Museum stamp to receive a 15% discount at Monticello.

The VA250 Mobile Museum Experience on the Downtown Mall is made possible by Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, Friends of Charlottesville Downtown, the City of Charlottesville, the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission, Charlottesville Albemarle Convention & Visitors Bureau, and VA250 Charlottesville-Albemarle.
