WILLIAM KING MUSEUM OF ART

NEVER THE SAME MUSEUM

WKMA
William King Museum of Art

William King Museum of Art is a dynamic gallery and gathering space in the vibrant arts and cultural community of Abingdon, Va. Exhibits range from contemporary art made right here in Appalachia to fine art from all around the world.

WKMA is also home to the Betsy K. White Cultural Heritage Research Archive. This collection includes some of the most detailed records in existence of our region’s rich decorative arts legacy! Our two cultural heritage galleries reflect this research and celebrate this tradition.

Due to construction, please be advised that the museum's campus must be accessed from Russell Road due to the Main Street entrance being temporarily closed. Parking is available in the lots on the west side and in front of the museum. Limited mobility visitors should park in the spaces at the front. All others may use these spaces as available, as well as the strip of parking spaces at the top of the hill just before the turn to the front of the museum. ADA access parking is in the alley between the museum and Art Lab with the access door into the museum clearly marked at the southwest corner of the museum's main building. The elevator to the gallery floors is on this entry floor. Thank you for your patience!
