Museum Guide — See It In An Hour Visitors in McKinnon Galleries of Modern and Contemporary Art

Spend time with Modern Masters

The McKinnon Galleries of Modern and Contemporary Art showcase internationally renowned artists like Jackson Pollock and Georgia O’Keeffe with those of local or regional acclaim like Norfolk artist Vic Pickett. Also on view are works by female artists, artists of color, and artists from other countries.

Totem by Alexander Calder — Alexander Calder (American, 1898–1976) Totem, ca. 1970, Painted metal, Gift of Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., 71.784

These works display the breadth and depth of the museum’s collection. There are alternate narratives to the history of contemporary art because not all artists or genres were or are embraced within the canon. Art history is fluid and constantly being revised. We invite you to visit again and again to see the rotating collection in these galleries.

“Luke Jerram’s Chrysler Chandelier is art that doubles as a science lesson. You can find it in the spiral staircase linking the Modern and the Family and Student Galleries”
