The Valentine

Let your story begin with us when you celebrate your special day in the Valentine Garden, our beautiful and blooming greenspace located on the museum campus in downtown Richmond!

The Valentine has been collecting, preserving and interpreting Richmond history for over a century. Located in the heart of downtown in the historic Court End Neighborhood, the Valentine uses the complex history of this important region to challenge and inspire diverse audiences. From exhibitions and tours to community events, school programs and more, the Valentine engages a broad audience in an ongoing dialogue about the significance and relevance of the city’s history, using our past to inform the present and shape the future.
