Huntington Museum of Art, Huntington, WV

COLLECTIONS

The beginnings of the art collection at the Huntington Museum of Art occurred nearly fifty years ago with the substantial gift of Herbert Fitzpatrick, a prominent Huntington citizen who also donated the fifty acres of land upon which the Museum was built. His outstanding collection of paintings, prints, English silver and Islamic prayer rugs was soon augmented by other gifts of individual art collections, disparate in nature, but uniform in their high standards of quality. The Museum has continued to build upon the collecting blueprint that was established in its beginning stages, adding objects of comparable quality which enhance its ability to serve its audience.
