Programs and Exhibitions
The Chrysler Museum strives each day to fulfill its purpose, to remain a catalyst, bringing art and people together to enrich and transform lives. A full range of guided tours, lectures, films, concerts, family days, travel programs, and publications are designed to engage the community in works of art displayed in the museum. Each year, over 100 Volunteer Docents welcome over 60,000 students from Hampton Roads' schools for tours at the Museum the Historic Houses.
The Chrysler not only offers visitors the opportunity to engage in artwork from its permanent collection, but the Museum also introduces several changing exhibitions including unique works from around the globe. Recent offerings include Rembrandt's Etchings: The Embrace and Darkness of Light", "From Goya to Sorolla: Masterpieces from The Hispanic Society of America", "To Conserve a Legacy: American Art from Historically Black Colleges and Universities", "Rodin: Sculpture from the Iris and B.

Famous quotes containing the words programs and and/or programs:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
