The Valentine (formerly known as the Valentine Museum and then Valentine Richmond History Center) is a private museum in Richmond, Virginia dedicated to the history of the city. The museum opened in 1898 as the Valentine Museum, and changed its name to the Valentine Richmond History Center in 2000 before adopting its current name in 2014. Founded by Mann S. Valentine II, it was the first museum in Richmond. According to its website, the Valentine offers exhibitions that focus on "American urban and social history, costumes and textiles, decorative arts and architecture." The Valentine also includes the 1812 neoclassical Wickham House, a National Historical Landmark. In 2014, the Valentine completed a $4.1 million renovation of its public exhibition galleries, lobby, museum store and education center.
