Description

The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV) tells the story of the art, history, and culture of the great valley for which it is named. First opened in the spring of 2005 and designed by the internationally acknowledged architectural firm of Michael Graves & Associates, the MSV joined Glen Burnie Historic House and Gardens—which opened to the public in 1997—to form a regional history museum complex in Winchester, Virginia. The Museum is open year–round; the house and gardens are open March through November.
