Virginia Quilt Museum

Founded in 1995, The Virginia Quilt Museum is the Official Quilt Museum of the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are delighted to have this treasure in Harrisonburg, just down the street from OASIS.

The Museum offers three floors of rotating, curated gallery space. Each round of exhibits features quilts from the Museum’s collection as well as traveling exhibitions. Heirloom quilts, contemporary quilts and art quilts are also typically featured simultaneously, allowing visitors the chance to marvel at the extreme variety of styles, techniques, and themes present in quilts.
