The Virtual Museum Gallery is an interactive online exhibit designed by the team at the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum to provide visitors with an educating and entertaining experience right from the comfort of their own homes! Each month, we’ll provide new and exciting exhibits about Mr. Vanderbilt and his family and Long Island’s own unique history.
