Richmond/Museum District



The Museum District is a district in Richmond, Virginia. In 1993, after many years of work this neighborhood was recognized as a Federal and State Historic District. This district consists of early 20th century housing, and it is home to many of Virginia's great museums. The district is located west of the Boulevard, between Cary St and Broad St. In 1995 the first Home and Garden tour was held, with many houses displaying beautiful landscapes.

"Carytown" is the strip of Cary St between Thompson and Boulevard. Carytown offers top rated restaurants and shops that are easily pedestrian accessible.

By bus
GRTC Phone: +1 804 358-4782. Buses run every 25 minutes and the fare is $1.50.

By car
There are several public parking decks in the area, most being near the Shopping District on W Cary Street. Outside of these lots parking is very limited and for the most part parallel street side lots. Some businesses have large parking lots, however be cautious when parking at these. Many of these businesses, especially those near W Cary St. have strictly enforced towing policies for those that are not shopping at that store.

By foot
The area is very pedestrian friendly so parking several blocks away in one of the public lots or at an establishment that doesn't tow and then walking to your destination tends to be the best option.

Museums
Many of Virginia's most famous museums are located in this district (hence the name).
