RICHMOND, VA.- In keeping with its goal to be accessible to all visitors, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) announces plans to be open 365 days a year. In addition, VMFA is expanding its evening hours. Starting in July, the museum will be open until 9 p.m. on Fridays, in addition to Thursday evenings. We have been wildly successful since our grand opening in May, and the museum has been enthusiastically received by the community and national visitors, says Alex Nyerges, director of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Being open on Mondays and offering evening hours have been very popular. As we strive to increase our accessibility to all our visitors, I am pleased to complete my vision to be open seven days a week, 365 days a year. Historically, the museum has been closed Mondays and in recent years, it was also closed on Tuesdays. Holiday closings were on New Years Day, Fourth of July, Thanks
