The Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History is a non-profit organization based in Danville, Virginia, focused on advancing art and history to foster community cohesion and education in the Dan River Region. It offers art and history exhibits, programs, and events and collaborates with local organizations and educational institutions to provide accessible cultural experiences for residents and visitors; the museum's leadership and programming emphasize diversity and inclusivity, with outreach to underserved communities.

The museum maintains four permanent exhibits—including the Camilla Williams Exhibit, Movement (the Danville Civil Rights exhibit), Behind the Lines (Danville’s Civil War exhibit), and the Danville Hall of Fame—alongside changing installations. Its collection spans antiques, historic documents, and art from the 19th through 21st centuries, including the Camilla Williams Collection, Kennedy-Revell Collection, and Stratford College Collection. The museum is housed in the Sutherlin Mansion, an Italian Villa-style house built in 1859 for the Sutherlin family and designed by Richmond architect Frank B. Clopton; it is recognized as a Virginia Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in October 2024 the City renewed its partnership with the museum.
