VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Local residents and tourists will have a chance to visit an art museum in Virginia Beach if they weren't able to before, since it will be open longer.
The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art announced on Thursday, May 13 that it will be extending its hours of operation to 8 p.m. for two days. This will take place on May 27 and June 3.
“We are looking forward to it,” said Virginia MOCA Director & CEO, Gary Ryan. “If it goes well, we are looking at continuing the extended hours for the summer exhibitions.”
This expansion is happening as part of the museum's pilot program, with an effort to allow people more access to be able to visit.
