The Katonah Museum of Art is a non-collecting institution geared towards visual arts, located in Katonah, New York. It does not have a permanent collection, but holds temporary exhibitions.
The museum was founded in 1953, in one room at the local library. In 1990 it moved to a separate building, designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes. The cost of the new building was $5.3 million.
In 1993 The New York Times said that the museum had 50,000 visitors a year.
The museum uses the services of volunteers.
