Heckscher Museum of Art

The Heckscher Museum of Art is named after its benefactors, Anna and August Heckscher, who in 1920 donated 185 works of art to be housed in a new Beaux-Arts building located in Heckscher Park, in Huntington, New York. The museum has over 2300 works of art, focused on American and Long Island artists, as well as featuring American and European modernism, and photography. The most famous painting in the collection is George Grosz's "Eclipse of the Sun". Four to five changing exhibitions are featured each year.
