This series documents the history, construction, and various exhibitions of the VMFA's Artmobile program, and includes graphic materials along with exhibition information.

In 1953, VMFA became one of the first museums in the world to have an Artmobile. Over the course of four decades, four different Artmobiles brought 59 different exhibitions to Virginia towns, ranging from Little Dutch Masters to African Textile Arts. While most of the objects came from VMFA's collection, some exhibitions featured works on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Natural History, the Guggenheim Museum, and other institutions. Speakers offering lectures on a variety of art-related topics were also from some of the nation's leading universities and museums. Budgetary constraints and concerns about conserving and protecting works of art on the road eventually led to the program's end in 1994.
