Things to Explore
  • Fun Facts: Discover an interesting Virginia fact for each letter of the alphabet and number 1 to 10.
The ABCs and 123s of Virginia

Use senses of sight, hearing, and touch to experience the ABCs and 123s of Virginia! As you move down the colorful hallway connecting the Museum’s front and back galleries, practice reciting the alphabet and counting 1 through 10 using the big, bold cut-outs along the walls. Press the buttons to listen to the pronunciation of each letter and number, or use the sign language illustrations and braille dots to discover how some people use senses other than hearing to communicate. Follow the drawings on the wall to form the sign for each letter and number with your hands and touch the raised dots to learn how letters and numbers can be read with your fingers.
