Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia, whose classically designed buildings and grounds embody the spirit of communal living and learning that Jefferson envisioned. Free, student-led guided tours of the campus depart daily from the Harrison Institute at 10am, 11am and 2pm during the school year. The Jefferson-designed Rotunda , a scale replica of Rome's Pantheon, will reopen in 2016 following restoration. UVA's Fralin Art Museum has an eclectic, interesting collection of American, European and Asian arts.
