- Martha’s Vineyard Museum (MVM) is a century-old historical and cultural museum that has collected art, artifacts, oral histories, documents, and photographs that help tell the stories of Martha’s Vineyard from its prehistoric stage to the present.
- Over time, the organization grew and in 2006, the Historical Society officially changed its name to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum to better reflect its focus on both collecting the history of the island and presenting, educating, and sharing it with the public.
- In 2011, MVM purchased the four-acre 1895 Marine Hospital site in Vineyard Haven and set out on a $31 million capital campaign to transform it into a new museum with more than 10,000 square feet of exhibit, library, collections storage, and office space.
- MVM was also gifted three properties adjacent to the Marine Hospital site, including one that serves as vital office space for its curatorial department and additional collections storage.
- Through partnerships with Martha’s Vineyard Public Schools and other organizations, MVM offers curriculum-based, in-classroom instruction and on-site opportunities to explore and discover the collection.
