Online Exhibits

The Museum of the Albemarle has expanded beyond its own facility in recent years. Online exhibits are an excellent way to reach out to the more rural areas of the 13-county region and beyond. We want to be able to educate beyond our brick-and-mortar building, and we are grateful to incorporate technology into our exhibits. Click to see our offerings.
