Houghton Museum and Art Gallery

The Houghton Museum and Art Gallery houses one of the largest collections of art in the country, including the award-winning Kate Gallery of Modern Art. Its collection includes more than five hundred thousand works of art spanning three thousand years of world culture, from prehistory to the present. Whether you are an art connoisseur or visiting the galleries for fun, the museum has something for you.

We also house many traveling exhibits as well as obtain new pieces to add to our collection to ensure that the museum is an evolving and changing one. Even our longest standing patrons feel they are visiting a fresh museum each time they visit.

Houghton Museum and Art Gallery is one of the most family friendly and accessible art museums in the area with a special, interactive children’s gallery that allows your children to become artists too. Special events are held monthly and certain galleries and venues are available for hire.
