The Virginia Museum of History and Culture is undertaking an ambitious renovation and expansion so there is much to be done to prepare for the changes. For one thing, the gift shop will be emptied and closed. Here you see the inventory of map reproductions for sale. In the background are tables of history books for,sale at $10 a carton and the last picture is the “Tea for One” set I snapped up for 75% off. Tonight I will have a cup of tea and think of all the great things ahead for VMHC.
