Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU

"Stunning place! I attended a super cool exhibition and the entrance was free. There’s also a cute bar with great food and kind staff, definitely recommended!"

"Beautiful building designed by Steven Knoll. Always great stack of artists on all 3 floors and amazing curators who host and bring amazing talent to the auditorium. Free admission. Richmond is blessed to have you. Oh super nice staff too"

"Pretty standard contemporary art museum for a college, but there is nothing special here. There are only four exhibits which is a little disappointing, but there are a few positives. There is FREE coffee, it is really open and modern, the staff is friendly, and it’s free. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to see this place or to drive more than 20 minutes, but if you live in the city, it’s worth checking off. Probably wouldn’t go back because of how small it is, but it wasn’t terrible. There were a few cool art pieces though. Clean bathrooms as well. Note: The elevator is SO SLOW, but it’s a really neat one! I would 100% suggest using it."

"Nice museum! There were 3 exhibits on. It seems like it was a transition time because there were things being set up. The space is nice and clean cut to make sure you can focus on the art which is nice. The outdoor areas were really pleasant to walk around and sit down at. It would be nice to visit multiple times a year to check out what’s new. There are nice bathrooms, too. There isn’t an official parking area but there’s a lot of street parking."

"Beautiful architecture. I like seeing new museums in Richmond that showcase modern pieces of art from around the world. Considering it’s absolutely free, it’s worth a trip. My family and I scratched our heads a lot throughout the Hedges, Ledges, Edges exhibit... was this artwork too conceptual for us? It felt sparse but I get that that’s probably what they were after."
