Albany Museum of Art
The Albany Museum of Art is located in Albany, Georgia, United States. The museum is a non-profit organization governed by a 28-member elected board of directors.
The museum was founded in 1964 as the outgrowth of the Southwest Georgia Art Association. It was first housed in an empty hosiery mill. In 1969 a small facility was constructed in a local park. In 1983 the current museum, next to Darton State College, opened with an exhibition of work by American impressionists on loan from the Phillips Collection.
The museum displays more than 200 works of African, European, and American art from a collection of 2,400 original works.
The African collection includes masks, sculpture, pottery, baskets, textiles, jewelry and gold weights. It is one of the largest collections of Sub-Saharan art in the Southeastern United States.
The American and European collections include paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculpture. The American collection includes paintings by Edward Henry Potthast, Joseph H. Sharp, Ernest Lawson, Reginald Marsh and A.L. Ripley.
