huntington museum of art

Visited this morning, very nice staff and facility. However, there was relatively little to see, as they are in process of changing out a bunch off exhibits. As a result, I was not charged admission (but did leave a donation).Wait a while until you visit.

We expected a below average experience, and were blown away by the size of the museum and the care that had gone into curating the exhibits. We especially liked the consrvatory which features a glass sculpture by Dale Chihouly, who is one of our favorites. The day we were there, there was an extensive exhibit of photographs by Ansel Adams, in addition to many more exhibits. you could have spent an entire day just learning about the amazing glass work done in relatively local factories. We recommend this highly.

I have been to Huntington several times but this is my first place here. I did not expect such nice facilities and broad spectrum of exhibitions. I really enjoyed my visit and I plan to come here again for a more through visit. They have transient contemporary art exhibitions, photography shows and a permanent Islamic display (with a beautiful decorated room from Syria). There is also a huge room for kids activity and you can just go in and do arts and craft with your kids. Tuesdays are free of charge.

It's hard to find. People not friendly and once again not even remotely close to the University. They have a nice facility and some good displays.

Very nice staff, and interesting venue for arts, firearms, folk art and horticulture. You will be amazed of this hidden treasure of Huntington, WV

Didn't expect too much (were we visiting West Va), but it was classier than we expected. Good exhibits. Nice use of our vacation time on a rainy day.

A wonderful, well laid out small museum. It has a strong permanent collection with paintings, drawings and etchings from American artists Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, Edward Shin and more. The museum and wall notes are thoughtfully laid out. It also has a lovely conservatory with a Chiluly centerpiece. Tuesdays are free. If you are driving through Huntington, WV take a trip to the top of the hill to visit. An added bonus is the beautiful drive to the top of the hill

Art is cool and everything, but have you seen the plant conservatory? THERE IS CHOCOLATE IN THERE! It's definitely a cool place to see tropical plants in the middle of WV. The trail is also awesome. I used to run there every day when I lived in Huntington and it's a nice break from the crowded Ritter trail. Worth it!

There is an interesting botanical room, with a Chihuly glass sculpture. Good changing exhibits and very interesting shop. There is also a cool hiking trail with a trailhead at the parking lot. It is a short hike through the forest.

during a recent 2 day road trip, my wife and I found this fantastic little art museum. It is very nicely laid out, has some very good collections and is in a beautiful rural setting. Definitely worth a side trip.

We were in town for another special event and included a trip to the Huntington Museum of Art while visiting the city. Who says you can't take small children to an art museum? This was the first exposure to the world of fine art for my great-grand-niece and nephew and they loved it! We especially enjoyed the conservatory area and the many beautiful plants... and were wowed by the poison dart frog (highlight of the little guys adventure). Thanks for the young Rembrandt memories!

The conservatory was awesome. The variety of orchids was intense. There were several permanent exhibits and a few that change, so there is always something new. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

what a good place to visit! loved it here absoulutly beautiful beautiful art work. would recommend anyone passing through huntington to visit here

This museum is just off I-64 and has a good exhibit of glass made in West Virginia as well as a sampling of glass made in the U.S. There is a lovely conservatory with some rather exotic plants along with a nice Chihuly hanging above a koi pond. The 2-D art also on display is ok especially the Inuit paintings. Worth the stop if you are driving in the area.

The Huntington Museum of Art is a true gem nestled on a hill above Huntington. For a city of it's size, Huntington is fortunate to have a museum of such quality. The exhibits are small, but well planned and executed. The staff and docents are friendly and knowledgeable. My husband is a native of Huntington, and we look forward to visiting the museum when we return for family visits. As other reviewers have stated, don't miss the conservatory and gift shop. We always manage to return home with something special from our visit.
