The new Barry Art Museum at Old Dominion University, which opened to the public in November 2018, highlights the private art collection gifted by Museum founders Richard and Carolyn Barry in an inviting, contemporary building. The galleries present several hundred exceptional glass sculptures, American modernist paintings, works on paper, historic dolls and automata, most of which have never been on public display.

The Barry Art Museum is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and weekends noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
