Review & FAQ:

No visit to Old Town Alexandria is complete without a stop at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. Housed in an old munitions plant, this landmark building is home to 82 working artist studios as well as galleries, workshops, classrooms, an archaeology museum, a gift shop, and Eatsplace, a café and marketplace. The Art League School hosts classes and workshops for children and adults for a hands-on visitor experience. The center is open daily with the exception of a handful of holidays, and there is no cost to visit the exhibits and see artists hard at work creating one-of-a-kind pieces.
