WILLIAM KING MUSEUM OF ART
NEVER THE SAME MUSEUM






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.
SUMMER DONATION DRIVE
Please consider donating!
WKMA’s mission is to provide arts education, exhibit fine art, and preserve the region’s cultural heritage. We strive to fulfill this mission by offering the highest quality museum experience that we can – whether you’re viewing an exhibition, taking a class, or attending an event. This kind of commitment takes dedication, passion, and hard work from our talented team. It also takes significant funding. Every dollar you give goes directly towards supporting our daily operations to ensure our admission remains free and our arts programming remains the best in the region. As Virginia’s only nationally accredited museum west of Roanoke, we strive to make art accessible for all.
Effective Monday, June 23rd, we will close East Academy Drive and open West Academy Drive from Russell Road to Main Street. Russell Road will be the only entry point to the museum. Traffic can exit either on West Academy Drive to Main Street or return along West Academy Drive to Russell Road. Parking will be available on the west and east sides, and at the front of the building.
We will have new hours beginning March 9th.
Tuesday-Saturday 10:00am - 5:00pm,
