7. F Map

   Virginia Holocaust Museum

   • Richmond, USA
   • Sights › Museum

   The museum is structured like an attic/diorama of the Holocaust survivors who settled here after WWII. It's occasionally kitschy but still powerful, due to the personalized nature of the exhibits. Not recommended for children under 11.
