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.

WKMA is proud to be the Town of Abingdon's Best Art Gallery/Museum!
Coming Soon!
Our new Worrell Wing will be getting its brick cladding this month! Its construction is moving quickly now that the building envelope is completed and sealed against moisture intrusion. The landscape is also proceeding well, with the west grassy areas being planted with trees this week and the sidewalk from the lower west parking lot being extended to the museum front. Please visit often! We are open as usual, with ample parking for visitors: in the front of the museum, the west side, and the large lower lot. Please continue to use Russell Road as the entrance. Exit down the front to Main Street or back out to Russell Road.
