West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture & History

Happy New Year! As we wrap up the holidays and move into January, the Department of Arts, Culture and History continues to offer many opportunities for the people of the mountain state and visitors alike to learn about the vast history of our great state and to appreciate the creativity of the people who reside here. The State Museum in Charleston, WV Independence Hall in Wheeling and Grave Creek Mound in Moundsville all offer free admission to explore the past and present of West Virginia on Tuesdays through Saturdays, 9am to 5pm. The Emerging Artists Exhibition, an exceptional showcase of West Virginia art, is still on display at the Culture Center, and beginning Jan. 26, visitors can see the third installation of Inspired: A West Virginia Series of Juried Exhibitions: WV Wildlife on display at the Culture Center in the Commissioner’s Gallery. We hope you all have a Happy New Year and visit us soon!
