Story

The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, in the heart of Wausau, Wisconsin, is known for its internationally acclaimed Birds in Art exhibition, presented each fall.
Art of the natural world is the guiding spirit behind the paintings, works on paper, and sculpture in the Museum’s collection.
Diverse exhibitions feature artwork from around the world and change more often than the seasons.
Enriching programs and events for all ages enliven exhibition themes.
Artist residencies offer opportunities for in-depth understanding of mediums and processes through public programs, demonstrations, and hands-on learning.
Committed to always-free admission, the Museum is a valued community resource and north central Wisconsin cultural attraction.

My first time visiting. I loved The Rarely Seen exhibit and the student exhibition. I am always blown away by artistic talent like that. Also seems a great place to take my nieces and nephew. Can walk them through to apprrciate the art upstairs and then enjoy the kids' area downstairs where they have hands on experiences.

Have been going here for as long as I remember. The new renovations look amazing. The art is always interesting. People are very friendly and helpful. Would recommend going if you are looking for something to do in the area.

A beautiful art museum. The exhibits are amazing, along with Birds in Art. The art area for kids downstairs is very interactive.

This is one of the best place to see art in Wisconsin. I have been coming here for years. I was 9 years old or so when I came here for school. It's just a great place to go for everyone. The grounds are so nice anytime of year. Just go and see.

This is a fantastic art museum! It has a unique focus on birds. Lots of interesting special exhibits that vary in focus. The presentations for new exhibits or by Artists- in- Residence are informative and entertaining. Outdoor sculpture garden is engaging. Free Admission.
