If there's one thing that the Children's Museum of Virginia has shown repeatedly over the years, it's a keen understanding of the business of having fun.
Thinking and doing have been the hallmarks of its kid-friendly exhibits since the museum started out in the basement of the Portsmouth Library in the early '80s. So has its persistent faith in the power of giving children and their parents the chance to learn and have fun.
That simple philosophy led to instant success in 1994, when the museum opened a new $3.5 million home inside a renovated department store building. It generated still more fans in 1998, when a $3.5 million expansion doubled the museum's size and added a nationally known model train collection.
