ABOUT
THE HUNTINGTON MUSEUM OF ART
For
more than five decades, the Huntington Museum of Art has been
defined by a vision, a vision of bringing the world of art to
the people of West Virginia and the Tri-State region. That vision,
nurtured by the generosity of museum founders and supporters,
has le
d
to the creation of a truly distinguished museum, the finest in
the state and the largest between Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Richmond.
It boasts an exceptional collection, innovative exhibitions and
educational programs, a landmark facility, and an extraordinary
52-acre site where art and nature blend in harmony.
Today,
visitors enjoy the beauty of glass, particularly that from the
Ohio Valley; the wisdom and whimsy of Appalachian folk art; the
functional artistry of American furniture and firearms; the serenity
of 19th and 20th century American and European paintings; and
the intricacy of Islamic prayer rugs. They can ponder the exotic
mysteries of Middle Eastern arts; the exquisite acrobatics of
sculptures by Calder and Rickey; and the marvels of nature's own
canvas.
The
museum also serves as a point of growing pride for the state and
the region - a dynamic cultural center where art and nature educate
and inspire visitors and residents alike. The Huntington Museum
of Art is carrying the legacy into the 21st century.
The
Huntington Museum of Art is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday,
