The Huntington Museum of Art is a regional museum and cultural institution based in Huntington, West Virginia. For more than five decades it has aimed to bring a broad spectrum of art to residents of West Virginia and the Tri-State region, supported by a network of founders and supporters. It operates a landmark facility on a 52-acre site where art and nature intertwine, housing a substantial collection, rotating exhibitions, and educational programs.

Its holdings include Ohio Valley glass, Appalachian folk art, American furniture and firearms, and 19th- and 20th-century American and European paintings, as well as Islamic prayer rugs. The museum also presents Middle Eastern arts and sculptural works by Calder and Rickey, alongside opportunities to engage with nature-inspired displays, reflecting its educational mission to inform and inspire visitors. Recent developments include recognition such as the 2024 Walter Gropius Award for excellence, and earlier the 2021 Institution of the Year award from the West Virginia Association of Museums, as well as the launch of The Visual Elements series in 2022.
