This is a very small museum in what is the main house of an old estate outside of downtown Charlottesville. There are only about 4 galleries and a hall. It is devoted exclusively to art of the Aboriginal tribes of Australia. This may sound a bit esoteric, but artwork is wonderful. It is really an expression of the cultural heritage of the aboriginal tribes and it is very moving and quite different than anything I have seen. You also learn about the suffering and persecution of these people. The museum is set in the grounds of the former estate and is lovely. You can do the museum in 30 min and it is worth it. It is also free!

Whenever my plans take my to Charlottesville, I always make a point to stop by the City Market there. This is one of my favorite farmers markets around. Such a great assortment of everything from fresh produce, meats, fish, eggs, pasta, cheese to plants, paintings, clothes, jewelry and even something for babies and dogs. There is always good snacking on fresh breads and pastries, as well as many other specialties. Held on Saturday mornings and worth the trip!
