CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A 2016 Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site, has been awarded to the West Virginia State Museum in the Culture Center, State Capitol Complex. This award was earned through consistently great reviews on the TripAdvisor site by visitors to the museum. The state museum also is ranked as the top destination in Charleston on the site. This is the fourth time in the award’s six-year existence that the museum has received this recognition. The TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence honors select accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently demonstrate a commitment to hospitality excellence. It uses a proprietary algorithm that takes into account the quality, quantity and recency of reviews and opinions submitted by travelers on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period, as well as a business’s tenure and ranking on the Popularity Index on the site. To qualify for the Certificate of Excellence, a business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months. The State Museum is free and open to the public Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed Sunday and Monday.
