This museum is a delight, and a surprise! Much more than I expected in so many ways. The beauty of the grounds are awesome. The museum is on the river so it is lovely. There are gardens, but we didn't see anything in bloom. Inside the art collection is amazing. If you like Asian art, then you will love this museum because there is a lot of Asian art pieces among other art as well. There was a huge sculpture on exhibit (traveling) which is definitely worth seeing. They keep the museum and grounds immaculate. The staff are knowledgeable, and friendly. The Hermitage Museum and Gardens is a hidden gem, and we will return when the weather is cooler.

We filmed Sam & Jardel's wedding at The Hermitage recently and, although it wasn't our first time filming there, it was probably the most fun we have ever had. We can't recommend it enough to potential future couples! If you're on the fence, we say, go for it! The venue coordinators are extremely nice, professional and so helpful. One of the most overlooked and undersold things about The Hermitage for couples getting married there is the garden surrounding the grounds, that make for such a majestic environment for photography and videography. We rank this as one of our favorite venues in Hampton Roads to film in and highly recommend it to everybody we meet that are still searching for the right venue for them.

If you'd like to see their film, you can find it on our website and Instagram for some inspiration!

A nice little museum placed in the beautiful setting . Trails, interesting views of the port. Free to visit. An interesting art collection, but it is somewhat chaotic , almost randomly placed in the cabinets and underrepresented (in a sense, that very little information is provided). The museum part of the place is a bit amateurish and underfunded.
