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.
