About this postcard
The linen postcard captioned "The Hague Landing and Museum of Art, Norfolk, Va." looks across the broad 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 building shown was opened in 1933 as the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences, now the Chrysler Museum of Art. The view reflects the early-20th-century development of this waterfront area as a civic and cultural setting.
