Housed in an Italianate-style structure facing the picturesque Hague
Inlet of the Elizabeth River, the Chrysler Museum of Art is home to an
encyclopedic collection of 30,000 objects spanning nearly 5,000 years of
history. Highlights include an impressive and comprehensive survey of European
and American painting and sculpture, a world-renowned glass collection,
a rich photography program, Art Nouveau furniture, as well as African,
Asian, Egyptian, Pre-Columbian and Islamic art. In the words of New York
Times art critic John Russell, the Chrysler boasts objects "...any museum
in the world would kill for."
