Visitors can plan to make a day of it.
Caf Chrysler in the museum's entranceway, Huber Court, serves coffee, tea and light snacks. Weather permitting, visitors can take a break outdoors in the beautiful, formal garden. A bench there overlooks the waters of The Hague. It's a great spot for walking, and the garden's gravel paths can provide entertainment for youngsters. Founded in 1939 as the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences, the museum experienced explosive growth in 1971 when automobile heir and art collector Walter P. Chrysler Jr. presented Norfolk with his collection.
