At The Heckscher Museum of Art, we believe that experiencing art broadens our understanding of the past, fosters community connections to our present, and creates diverse possibilities for our future.
The Heckscher Museum maintains a Collection that includes more than 2,300 works from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century, including European and American painting, sculpture, works on paper, and photography. The Museum was founded in 1920 by Anna and August Heckscher, who donated the Museum building and 185 works of art to the Town of Huntington. Mr. and Mrs. Heckscher envisioned Heckscher Park and the Museum as the center of the community’s cultural, recreational, and social life. Inspired by that vision, the Museum has championed the value of publicly accessible art and arts education for everyone.
