Given the fact that Portsmouth is situated right on Virginia's coastline, it is little wonder that the city has been a key site in the history and development of the shipping industry. Learn about it all when you visit the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Museum. You will get the chance to see various exhibits that highlight the many aspects of naval and nautical history, plus see memorabilia that dates back to this centuries-old Southern port. The museum is a piece of history itself, as it was established in 1949 within the confines of the nation's oldest shipyard.
Portsmouth Community Concerts is an organization with a mission that involves bringing the best live music performances to Portsmouth on a regular basis. So far, they have not fallen short of their purpose. This veteran group that specializes in concert presentation has been responsible for offering an impressive schedule of national and international acts and entertainment to Portsmouth audiences. The shows take place at Willett Hall. You can buy a subscription to guarantee great seats, or if you prefer, you can purchase tickets individually.
Thoughts and feelings always need to be expressed. Artists who express their unique thoughts and feelings usually convey them through a variety of media, but the original spirit is always the same–to communicate their story to as many people as possible. That type of expression is at the heart of all of the incredible exhibits and displays that you will discover at the Portsmouth Art and Cultural Center. Through the many traveling exhibits and special programs, visitors can uncover the stories behind some of the world's most fascinating cultures as told through paintings, sculptures, pottery and more.
