Even if you aren’t an art fan, you will find lots of treasures to love here! There were weathervanes, ceramics, tobacco store statues, an unusual carrousel and much more! Kids will love this place! Prepare for hours of fun!

The place was deserted and I was peacefully exploring the collection. An employee comes from across the room, stands right beside me to ask me if I had a mask. I was keeping 6 distance. In fact, I had the whole exhibit to myself! Until he came within 6 to ask me if I had a mask. Think! Dont just obey... think!Im giving 2 stars for the collections.

I was twelve the first time I went to Colonial Williamsburg, it was during flower time so stunning. I returned the bicentennial on a trip representing Ohio,for Star of the East lodge.I have returned many times as an adult,if you love or are just learning about American history, early life and homes,this is the best place to go.The museums are outstanding, thats where I fell in love with folk art.Best collections,and also clothing,quilts,glassware, collections of every thing you can imagine.If you get a chance to go and walk the grounds and homes,try to go early spring,because summer heat is not for everyone. Take good walking shoes.Try to plan several days there is so much to see.Many places to visit in surrounding area.Check for lodging in advance. Enjoy!~Abby

Got chased by one of the workers for taking are mask off cause we where itching are nose she followed us through the whole museum

The museum is, in fact, the result of two museums being put into one building. In fact, right now, they are doing work to expand the building so parking can be hard to find. Close to the Williamsburg exhibits and has something for everything. The whole family can enjoy it. Christmas is the best time to see it.

I spent about 2 hours here. I wish I had more time. I was totally unprepared for the amount of exhibits they had from paintings to silverware and of course folk art. I will definitely be back. It is located near Merchants Square. You can easily make a day full here. Plenty of restaurants and not to mention how close it is to Colonial Williamsburg.

Amazing artifacts preserved in an eloquent setting. Grateful for the experience and Rockefellers vision.

The museum is filled with rich history, and is exceptional looking inside. The employees are professional and courteous.

Very difficult to figure out which direction to wander through the exhibits. The down on the farm exhibit with Prince the dog was entered from the far end, as was the exhibit on tea and dishware. Made for some confusing moments as we were walking around. They are under construction at the moment so that might account for the confusion but I hope they re-number the exhibit order after the construction is complete.

Lots to see. Lot to learn. Huge variety of collections. Went back 3 times.

A first class museum with multiple different collections and history presentations. Could spend many days here. Wish the cafetetia/coffee shop had better options .

Beautiful array of American and European art. Portraits, tea pots, weather vanes and first nationa weavings!

Maybe our expectations were too high but aside from some beautiful furniture I didnt get excited. Winterthur has better examples and there were renovations everywhere. Signage was abysmal. I dont think I will return.

This place is awesome. I would definitely recommend at least 3 to 4 hours. So much information so many beautiful pieces here. I love the antique furniture section. Cant wait for the new addition.

It was under construction, so more than half was closed. It looks as though It will be much larger and better at this time next year.

They have a very interesting collection of folk art its been several hundred years. They are all items that Abby collected herself. She had an incredible eye for unique pieces. Its well worth a visit.

Always a nice place to visit. The tours are fun and informative. Cafe is meh.

Like hearing and seeing the gentleman doing gold gilding on a chandler.

Interesting exhibits and well-versed docents make for entertainment and enjoyable stops during a visit to Colonial Williamsburg. There are no hands-on exhibits for children and some of the visitors or staff can make little ones feel out of place or pushed aside but, well-planned and supported tours can be fun.

Research by experts and Great selection of antique furniture

Love this place.. There is so many historical artifacts and beautiful art pieces

Beautiful even under construction. Great activities throughout the day for all ages.

Excellent exhibits

Really cool museum with a lot more to see than I was expecting

A great collection that is very well put together of all things Americana from the past three centuries. Far more expansive than what it appears from the surface building due to the main exhibits being underground. Excellent value, as it is included in the ticket price to Colonial Williamsburg! A good place to browse after Colonial Williamsburg shuts down at 4:30!

Amazing collection of period pieces and a few displays from more recent times. Great lighting, great galleries. The Cafe looks great, too. The food, meh.

Very boring art museum. If you like art youd love this place though.

There is a wide variety of displayed items. There is even a detailed display of how houses were built in the area. You can spend several hours looking at the ever-expanding collection of furniture and weapons from the era. We go whenever we are in the area.

Great museum. Definitely a must see.

A couple of museums in the same building. Both are worth the time I effort to explore. Entry is a bit complex.

Walk slow and take in the amazing exhibits that bring history to life.

A gem of a museum close to the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. Plan to spend several hours here to get full effect and appreciation for the displayed collection.Housed within the four walls is the Folk Art Museum and the Decorative Arts Museum. Each has its own flavor and focus. Both offer guided tours lasting about 30 minutes from the central rotunda on a regular schedule. The tours led by knowledgeable volunteers are well worthwhile to get the best appreciation of the collections and their significance.Their centrally located cafe offers quick lunch and snack options, and is a nice place to eddy out to recharge.Operated by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, much more about this first-rate and highly recommended Museum can be learned by visiting their web site.

I learned do much. Its definitely a place to see when in Williamsburg

Part of the Williamsburg art museum, this had very interesting pieces. I especially liked all of the weather vanes.

Amazing museum and art work. The best part of Colonial Williamsburg.

Excellent museum, can spend days here. Fascinating.

Very good experience

Awesome and ever expanding art gallery

A wonderful place to view art and history, especially if you like furniture, quilting, and instruments like pianos.

This museum in Williamsburg, while starting a new enlargement of their facilities are, none the less, moving forward with new and important exhibitions. The latest is a study of 18th Century fabrics which show the fashions for women AND men and the way they would be used in each strata of the classes.

This museum is a hidden treasure in the restored area of Colonial Williamsburg. We were pleasantly surprised at the content of both quantity and quality. Interesting displays of toys, quilts, furniture, clothing, homebuilding, and folkart were illuminating. Glad we stopped in.

Nice museum. Nice cafe inside too. Worth the visit while you are in town to see the folk art.

Best museum Ive been too. Hands down. Just go. Execution on point.

Very educational. Good for the whole family any age will find it entertaining

One of the better Musiams I have visited.

Great exhibits.

Enjoyed our time here. We will be back soon

Wonderful museum! Our favorite part of Colonial Williamsburg.

Thoroughly enjoyed the museum and the many interesting items and variety there.

Probably one of the best museums and all of the southeastern United States.

This place was lovely

This museum is world class! This is as good an attraction as Williamsburg itself!

You can spend hours here just wandering and looking. I love their furniture collection.

Hidden gem if you like to go to the museum

3rd time I have been to this museum and 3 out of 3 visits it has been under some sort of renovation.

Very extensive and interesting collection.
