 In 1983, after a successful capital campaign, the citizens of Albany and Southwest Georgia opened the Albany Museum of Art, a new museum facility located adjacent to the West Campus of Albany State University (formerly Darton College).The Museum facility contains six gallery spaces, a museum store, a 200-seat, multi-functional auditorium, an interactive children’s gallery, and a classroom for studio arts.On January 2, 2017, the AMA facility sustained serious damage from the straight line winds that blew through the city.
