About this postcard

The view looks across the water of The Hague toward the museum's classical facade, with trees and neighboring buildings along the curving shore. The Hague is a tidal inlet in Norfolk's Ghent neighborhood, and the museum opened there in 1933 as the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences, now the Chrysler Museum of Art. The surrounding waterfront reflects the area's development as a civic and cultural setting in the early 20th century.
