The MSV retains examples by many of the Valley’s great basketmaking dynasties—the Nicholsons, Prices, and Cooks, among others—but the Museum’s strongest holdings are made up of baskets and other objects from the Day family of Shenandoah County.

Get a close look at metals made and used in the Shenandoah Valley with a preview of some new discoveries related to silver pieces from the Julian Wood Glass Jr. Collection.

The MSV celebrates a pioneering Valley artist, Charles Franklin Moss (1878-1961). Explore the life and works of an artist born in Winchester, VA whose technique was regarded by art critics as "being identical to that of the old masters.”
