Online Exhibitions

The Museum of the Albemarle has spread beyond its own facility in the 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 display along our exhibits. Click to see our offerings.
