About Our Museum
The mission of the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia (BHMVA) is to share, interpret, preserve, exhibit, and commemorate the rich history and culture of African Americans throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond.
Through cultivated partnerships and innovative programming, BHMVA aims to restore a profound sense of cultural pride, wellbeing, and unity within the diaspora while fostering a more open and inclusive society. The museum’s dedication to the collection, documentation, and study of the history and culture of African Americans highlights stories that are often untold and forgotten, and actively contributes to the ongoing narrative through scholarship and curation.
