Virginia Quilt Museum *

Founded in 1995, The Virginia Quilt Museum is the Official Quilt Museum of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Museum promotes a unique blend of Virginia’s art and cultural heritage, with three floors of rotating, curated gallery space. Each round of exhibits features quilts from the Museum’s collection as well as traveling exhibitions. Heirloom quilts, contemporary quilts and art quilts are also typically featured simultaneously, allowing our visitors the chance to marvel at the extreme variety of styles, techniques, and themes present in quilts.

As a small, private museum, we could not keep our doors open or our programs running without tremendous volunteer assistance! Each day, our volunteers perform meaningful, essential tasks and proudly represent the Virginia Quilt Museum to the public.

We make it a point to work with each volunteer to assess their individual interests and skills and incorporate them into our mission. We want our volunteers to be able to grow and learn through their experience with us.
